 - [`ViewStream`](https://sublimetext.github.io/sublime_lib/modules/sublime_lib.view_stream.html), a standard [Python IO stream](https://docs.python.org/3/library/io.html#io.TextIOBase) wrapping a `sublime.View` object; and [OutputPanel](https://sublimetext.github.io/sublime_lib/modules/sublime_lib.output_panel.html), which extends `ViewStream` to provide additional functionality for output panel views.
