for images if terminal like wezterm supports it.

Hey there,
I was not aware of Sixel, thanks for that.
From a quick look it seems there are quite a few terminals that lack support for this. Worked great on my Mac with iTerm but not with the default terminal or a gnome terminal I tried on a linux box.
Is there a python implementation with built-in support detection that we could use here?

There might be better alternatives compatibility-wise for instance Chaf which also has excellent python bindings.

VTE doesn't support it but you can always install wezterm, and also detect sixel support with fallback through terminal color block included
