Pexpect Description

Makes Python a better tool for controlling other applications Pexpect is a pure Python module for spawning child applications; controlling them; and responding to expected patterns in their output.Pexpect will allow your Python scripts to spawn a child application and control it as if a human were typing commands.Pexpect can be used for automating interactive applications such as passwd, telnet, ssh, ftp, etc. Pexpect can be used to a automate setup scripts for duplicating software package installations on different servers. Pexpect can be used for automated software testing. Pexpect is in the spirit of Don Libes' Expect, but Pexpect is pure Python. Unlike other Expect-like modules for Python, Pexpect does not require TCL or Expect nor does it require C extensions to be compiled. Pexpect should work on any platform that supports the standard Python pty module. The Pexpect interface was designed to be easy to use.
