Is it possible to spawn a shell (cmd on Windows and terminal on UNIX systems) into a QWidget?

[Fuchsiaff]

I would really like to have a terminal widget that'd either be cross platform or have it so I could determine if I want to spawn a cmd on windows or a terminal on UNIX systems into a QWidget.

I found a GitHub project called qtermwidget but since my project is written in PyQt5, I have no idea how to use it. I saw that there were some python bindings but idk what to do with them.

Any help is appreciated!

Hi,

You can use Riverbank's sip to create python bindings for your custom widget.

It already has python bindings but I just don't know how to use them or find documentation on how to use it

@Fuchsiaff and what about KDE's Konsole?

Did you read https://github.com/lxqt/qtermwidget/blob/master/README.md ?
Also there are examples.
