        Usage
        =====
        
        ``via-xterm script [argument ...]``
        
        How is this useful?
        ===================
        
        To simplify debugging of scripts, that use `escape sequences
        <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code>`_/`curses
        <https://docs.python.org/3/howto/curses.html>`_/`urwid
        <http://urwid.org/>`_, in an IDE (e.g. `PyCharm
        <https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/>`_). Normally IDEs' integrated consoles do
        not handle all the escape sequences, so one has to either live with that or
        use remote debugging.
        
        ``via-xterm`` wraps the target script in a way that its stdin/stdout are
        connected to a new `xterm -S
        <https://linux.die.net/man/1/xterm>`_ instance, which handles the user
        interaction. Debugging the target script is possible, because it is run using
        ``compile()`` and ``exec()`` builtins.
