| Requires-Dist: ptyprocess (>=0.5) | |
| 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. | |
