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