Pexpect works like +Don Libes' Expect. Pexpect allows your script 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 ssh, ftp, +passwd, telnet, etc. It can be used to a automate setup scripts for +duplicating software package installations on different servers. It 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. It should work on any platform that supports the +standard Python pty module. The Pexpect interface was designed to be easy to use. + +License: Python Software Foundation License + +Noah Spurrier +http://pexpect.sourceforge.net/ + |
