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. The Pexpect interface was designed to be easy to use. + +If you want to work with the development version of the source code then please +read the DEVELOPERS document in the root of the source code tree. + +Free, open source, and all that good stuff. +Pexpect Copyright (c) 2008 Noah Spurrier + +Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy +of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal +in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights +to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell +copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is +furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: + +The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all +copies or substantial portions of the Software. + +THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, +EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF +MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT. +IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AUTHORS OR COPYRIGHT HOLDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, +DAMAGES OR OTHER LIABILITY, WHETHER IN AN ACTION OF CONTRACT, TORT OR +OTHERWISE, ARISING FROM, OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOFTWARE OR THE +USE OR OTHER DEALINGS IN THE SOFTWARE. + +Noah Spurrier +http://pexpect.sourceforge.net/ + |
