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.
|
|
|
|
The main features of Pexpect require the pty module in the Python standard
|
|
library, which is only available on Unix-like systems. Some features—waiting
|
|
for patterns from file descriptors or subprocesses—are also available on
|
|
Windows.
