Hello. I am currently using a tiling window manager ( i3wm ). While using pty.spawn(), resizing xterm's X window also resizes the underlying terminal size; as a result, output of commands such as ls(1) become incorrectly laid out, making them very hard to read.
Further, I have noticed that the pty library has several long-standing issues (such as bpo-26228).
I have made several improvements to the pty and tty libraries. I propose that we create a new library "pty2" ( https://github.com/8vasu/pypty2 ) while keeping "pty" for backward compatibility, because there are several unmerged conflicting PRs related to these issues.
The problem is that pty has no active maintainer to make decisions. Proposing a duplicate module will not solve that. -- Terry Jan Reedy
