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...
