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