simple yakuake bindings

I was looking for something which I could better describe with example:

import pyakuake

pyakuake.add_tab('egg')
pyakuake.run_in_tab('egg', "'vi test'") # unfortunaltely string in string (see note below)
pyakuake.run_in_tab('egg', "'isome text'")
pyakuake.run_in_tab('egg', "'\x1b'")
pyakuake.run_in_tab('egg', "':wq'")
pyakuake.run_in_tab('egg', "'cat test'")
Because I didnt find it I wrote this simple modul ->
