A Python extension for Expect.
The current version is 1.8.3.
News: The e-mail address of the author has changed to arcege@gmail.com.
Note: The current version of Expect (5.32) is not compatible with ExpectPy 1.8.x. You will need to download and compile Expect 5.30 (compatible with Tcl 8.0.x). I am currently working on the compatiblity issues with Expect 5.31 and 5.32.
ExpectPy 1.8.3 is a patch to fix bug (#121064) incompatibilities with Python 2.0's new regular expression engine.
News: Nov 5, 2000: I have created a beta release of ExpectPy 1.9, which now supports Python 2.0, Expect 5.31/5.32 and Tcl 8.2.
ExpectPy is based on Don Libes' Expect library as well, but incorporates a builtin C type with methods as well as support for Perl-Compatible Regular Expressions [1]. The complete module is written in C, taking advantage of the faster processing time.
