[colug-432] tmux escape codes

[Greg Sidelinger]

Here is a very simple python script which will send a file to stdout with
the proper esc sequence for the terminal to see it as a print job.  I don't
recommend testing it with anything other than small text files.  I did
notice that screen seems to "work".  I do have a much "better" version of
the bellow script which has a lot of error checking and actually reads the
file in small chunks while writing it to stdout.  But this one gets the
idea across very quickly.


#!/usr/bin/python
import tty, sys, termios

# read file and waste lots of memory while doing it
try:
	tmpfile = sys.argv[1]
except:
	print "\nPlease pass in a file name\n"
	sys.exit()
fileobj = open(tmpfile, mode='rb')
data = fileobj.read()
fileobj.close()

# Get term props and make stdout raw
att = termios.tcgetattr(sys.stdout)
tty.setraw(sys.stdout)

sys.stdout.write("\033[5i" + data + "\033[4i")

# reset terminal
termios.tcsetattr(sys.stdout, termios.TCSADRAIN , att)
