    Context:

    I have 2 Terminals open, in one is a Python Terminal Chat client running(pt3). I want to sent text from the other terminal(pt2) to the chat. It does write the text to pt3 but pt3 dosent ‘see’ the text.

    If i send over “hallo world” it prints on the terminal but dosent show up in chat.

      A PTS is a single character device. Writing to it causes output to appear on the terminal buffer, reading from it reads from the input buffer. So, writing to it like you do from a separate shell effectively does the same as calling print() from python which has it as inherited stdio. There is a way to write to a PTS input buffer but it’s not straightforward and works in a completely different way. Use something like tmux instead, or better, sockets.
