Pexpect is similar to the Don Libes "Expect" system, but Pexpect
|
|
as a different interface that is easier to understand. Pexpect
|
|
is basically a pattern matching system. It runs programs and
|
|
watches output. When output matches a given pattern Pexpect can
|
|
respond as if a human were typing responses. Pexpect can be used
|
|
for automation, testing, and screen scraping. Pexpect can be
|
|
used for automating interactive console applications such as
|
|
ssh, ftp, passwd, telnet, etc. It can also be used to control
|
|
web applications via "lynx", "w3m", or some other text-based web
|
|
browser. Pexpect is pure Python. Unlike other Expect-like
|
|
modules for Python Pexpect does not require TCL or Expect nor
|
|
does it require C extensions to be compiled. It should work on
|
|
any platform that supports the standard Python pty module.
