It handles the low-level details of terminal control: piping stdin/stdout/stderr between host and container, managing raw terminal mode, handling window resize signals, and restoring terminal state on exit.\n\nThe library is designed for scenarios where you need programmatic, interactive access to a container's shell from Python. It also supports non-TTY attachment for streaming container output. However, the project is abandoned (last release 2016-02-04, no commits since 2019-10-16) and does not explicitly declare its runtime dependency, creating friction for new installations and raising questions about compatibility with modern tooling.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned (last release 2016-02-04, no commits since 2019-10-16) and does not explicitly declare its runtime dependency, creating installation friction and compatibility risk.
