Here's the C API for VTE:
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/vte/vteterminal.html

Here's a link for the ruby binding:
http://ruby-gnome2.sourceforge.jp/hiki.cgi?Vte%3A%3ATerminal

It's unfortunate that there's no Python documentation, but it's still fairly
easy to translate.

You can also do something like this to at least get a look at what the
module contains:

import vte
print dir(vte.Terminal)
