Terminal like app in PySide

Question

I am making an application in PySide and I want to add a Console/Terminal like screen, where you have a prompt and you can type commands. How would I be able to accomplish this. I am guessing some combination of QPlainTextEdit/QTextEdit for the output and QLineEdit for the actual prompt. Is there a better way to do this?

You could check out Spyder. They use PyQt (which is similar) and have a terminal. I think you can import their terminal widget, but I haven't played with it.

Also, it is my favorite python editor by far!

I've spent a fair deal of time trying to find something like this, but to no avail. Good luck!
