# Functionality that's logically common to all platforms goes here, each
# platform-specific module only provides the bits that are OS-dependent.
# XXX - I'm still not happy with a module global for this, but at least now
# there is a public, cross-platform way of toggling the term title control on
# and off. We should make this a stateful object later on so that each user
# can have its own instance if needed.

set_term_title() allows writing to the console titlebar. In embedded
widgets this can cause problems, so this call can be used to toggle it on
or off as needed.
The default state of the module is for the function to be disabled.
Parameters
----------
val : bool
If True, set_term_title() actually writes to the terminal (using the
appropriate platform-specific module). If False, it is a no-op.

cmd is `python` return `sys.executable`.
