100 Scripts in 30 Days challenge: Script 8 — asciinema clone — Capture shell to log using cmd module

I like asciinema and wanted to explore how it works at least the logging of the command part. Asciinema is a tool that records your terminal session and then saves in the cloud.

asciinema - Record and share your terminal sessions, the right way

Also today I came across cmd module which helps to convert your python program as a command shell.

Give your Python program a shell with the cmd module (Example)

Details about my script:

• It uses logging module of python to save the command output to file as well as showing it to the STDOUT.
• I use the subprocess module to execute all the commands and capture their output through pipes
• I use the cmd module to develope the commands shell and quit. “shell” command is used to execute a shell command. And “quit” is used to quit the session.
