| 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 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. |
