Everything that comes and goes to the terminal is potentially captured by "script" and there's no way for you to see/interact with it that bypasses that. You can try switching off ZLE if you can stand to work that way, but I think you'd still get the prompts captured. > I really just want the programs output logged - no prompts, no shell-related > output. > > Is that possible? It's a bit difficult in zsh up to 5.8.1 ... once 5.9 is released, you should be able to do something like this: autoload add-zsh-hook exec {stdout}>&1 {stderr}>&2 preexec_outputs() { exec 2>>|stderr.log 2>&$stderr exec 1>>|stdout.log 1>&$stdout } precmd_outputs() { exec 1>&$stdout 2>&$stderr } add-zsh-hook preexec preexec_outputs add-zsh-hook precmd precmd_outputs However, this won't capture output of interactive programs like "vim" which will either fail or will re-open the terminal device directly (printing an error message first, in the case of vim). > So would there be a way to reliably filter the zsh-related output e.g. within > the _my_read_function function? Using preexec and precmd you could write markers to the output that would indicate when ZLE becomes active (precmd) and when it finishes (preexec). Your python script could then discard anything between those two markers. You'd have to be very sure that those markers would never appear in output you actually want captured.
