I would like to know which window is hosting the terminal running Python. In specific, I would like to distinguish between windows terminal and the old CMD console on Windows machine.

EDIT: I'm not sure I'm using correct words and there is an overload of words anyway. To be more specifc, I want to know the host window becaue they have different behaviours.
