Research direction

Start by reproducing the code from issue #170 and the documentation, checking whether tmux and the optional ptpython dependency affect window creation. Compare the observed behavior with the documented example; done means identifying the missing prerequisite or correcting the example so it creates a visible window without errors.

Description

Hello, i am trying to run the code either from
https://github.com/tmux-python/libtmux/issues/170 or from documentation
but in both cases i can't see any window is created. Code is executing without errors but there are just no windows / GUI.
Am i doing something wrong or i am missing some dependencies or something else... I don't have installed ptpython, but it's optional as far as i understood.
