Documented steps

  1. Create a sandbox: 'from e2b import Sandbox; with Sandbox.create() as s: ...'.
  2. Start a PTY: 'pty = s.commands.pty(size=PtySize(cols,rows), cwd=..., user=..., envs=...)'.
  3. Interact with the PTY through its handle (send keystrokes / read output).
  4. When the terminal window resizes, call 's.commands.resize(pid, PtySize(new_cols,new_rows))' to keep rendering correct.
