+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. |
