Pexpect makes Python a better glue for controlling child 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. The Pexpect interface was designed to be easy to use.
