- `tmux` has a `capture-pane` command. For example:
- 1. start session: `tmux new-session -t s1`
- 2. do python stuff
- 3. detach from session (eg. `Ctrl-b` `d`) or execute step 4 in a different terminal
- 4. `tmux capture-pane -t s1 -S - -p | awk '/welcome-msg/,0' >logfile`
- * change the awk regex to something that matches your welcome line
5. end session: `tmux kill-session -t s1`

- Instead of storing to a logfile, you could also pipe into `xclip -i` or somesuch to set the X selection directly.
