Xterm.js is a very flexible system, and as such can be mapped to work with a wide variety of websocket/terminal backends. Terminado is one such backend written in Python using Tornado as the underlying web framework. This directory shows a more-or-less barebones example of integrating Terminado and Xterm.js. To do so requires some small edits to Xterm.js's attach.js to change the websocket communication format. Briefly, Terminado wraps messages in arrays with an element denoting what kind of data it holds, and so rather than simply sending user-typed data directly, one sends ['stdin', data].

To run this example, first install Terminado via pip install terminado, then simply run python ./app.py and connect to http://localhost:8000 to open a shell on localhost.
