+Pexpect is a Pure Python Expect-like module |
+ |
+Pexpect 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 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. |
+ |
+If you want to work with the development version of the source code then please |
+read the DEVELOPERS document in the root of the source code tree. |
+ |
+Free, open source, and all that good stuff. |
