pexpect - Expect module for Python
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. 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.

Changelog
- * Thu Feb 3 17:00:00 2005 Toshio Kuratomi <toshio{%}tiki-lounge{*}com> 0.999-2
- Use python_sitelib macro to resolve build issues on x86_64.
- %ghost *.pyo
- Install ANSI.py, screen.py, and FSM.py into the examples. These are intended
to suplement pexpect eventually but they are currently much less robust and
not installed to by default. But they are needed by some examples.
- Use __python macro in build/install for consistency.
- Add --skip-build to the invocation of setup.py in install.
- * Mon May 31 18:00:00 2004 Panu Matilainen <pmatilai{%}welho{*}com> 0.999-0.fdr.1
- get rid of distrel munging, buildsys does that...
- update to 0.999
- update doc and example tarballs
- fix build on python <> 2.2
- use -O1 in install to generate .pyo files instead of manually creating the files
- require python-abi = pyver to get dependencies right
- * Sun Jul 27 18:00:00 2003 Panu Matilainen <pmatilai{%}welho{*}com> 0.98-0.fdr.3
- own .pyo files too as suggested by Ville (#517)
