This is a simple wrapper around tmux to allow you to define a session in a JSON file. This is to avoid having to do all the setup of making the session with a name, opening the windows with the right names and commands, and doing so in a consistent manner. Also, if the session already exists, it will just open it for you.
Simply install it from pypi::
pip install pytmux
or if you insist::
easy_install pytmux
To list all configs::
pytmux list
To run a config::
pytmux run
To start a new configuration or edit an existing one::
pytmux edit
To validate all of your configs::
pytmux doctor
JSON will be used for configs::
{ "name": "sample", "directory": "~/devel/sample", "windows": [ { "name": "dev server", "command": "./manage.py runserver" }, { "name": "some shell" }, { "command": "emacs" }, {} ] }
Will open a tmux session named sample with 4 windows open. The first will
be named dev server and will have ./manage.py runserver running in
it. The second will be a window named some shell which will have the system
default shell running in it. The third will default to using
automatic-rename and will have emacs running in it. The final will be a
window with automatic-rename and the system default shell.
Honestly, I don't want to build this, but none of the currently existing tmux
wrappers seem interested in supporting not naming windows and letting tmux do
its automatic-rename thing. Also they use YAML and I prefer JSON.
There are a couple that exist already but don't make me happy.
