"""Pexpect is a Python module for spawning child applications and controlling | |
them automatically. 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. Other Expect-like modules for Python | |
require TCL and Expect or require C extensions to be compiled. Pexpect does not | |
use C, Expect, or TCL extensions. It should work on any platform that supports | |
the standard Python pty module. The Pexpect interface focuses on ease of use so | |
that simple tasks are easy. |
