Of course...

VT-100 terminals were usually rs-232 devices connected at 9600 baud....

If you can write some python code talking to the serial port, you can
easily read the data from the port... render it... and do whatever you
need...

If you are doing it over a network then you are using a terminal emulator.

Many of the top name termninal emulators provide a programming api.

If not.. go open source....

There are just many.. many different ways these days... depending on
what platform and which terminal emulator you are using...
