Scripting iTerm2

[Eric G]

I was curious...

On the Documentation page, there is a link to Scripting documentation. However, this documentation discusses scripting with AppleScript.

I am not sure how or it if it can be reached otherwise, by a google search for "iterm2 python" brings me to documentation on scripting with Python. The tutorial says:

> The iTerm2 Python API is a replacement for the AppleScript API that preceded it. 

> It offers a more powerful set of APIs that give the script writer a great deal of 

> control.

Has Python replaced AppleScript now? Is scripting Python iTerm2 stable?

AppleScript in iTerm2 is on life support and Python API is the preferred way to do scripting. It’s been out for something like 7 years and is stable. I see that the links to the docs somehow disappeared from the table of contents. I’ll add them back in the next website update. The missing links are:

https://iterm2.com/documentation-scripting-fundamentals.html

https://iterm2.com/documentation-variables.html

https://iterm2.com/python-api

Thank you for clearing that up.
