1Pexpect is a Pure Python Expect-like module
2
3Pexpect makes Python a better tool for controlling other applications.
4
5Pexpect is a pure Python module for spawning child applications; controlling
6them; and responding to expected patterns in their output. Pexpect works like
7Don Libes' Expect. Pexpect allows your script to spawn a child application and
8control it as if a human were typing commands.
9
10Pexpect can be used for automating interactive applications such as ssh, ftp,
11passwd, telnet, etc. It can be used to a automate setup scripts for duplicating
12software package installations on different servers. It can be used for
13automated software testing. Pexpect is in the spirit of Don Libes' Expect, but
14Pexpect is pure Python. Unlike other Expect-like modules for Python, Pexpect
15does not require TCL or Expect nor does it require C extensions to be compiled.
16It should work on any platform that supports the standard Python pty module.
17The Pexpect interface was designed to be easy to use.
