Second (50 ms) seems to be enough to clear up the problem. To sleep just before writing to the child application. Many users that I decided that the default pexpect behavior should be If you introduce a slight delay just before writing then Normally this wouldn’t be a problem when interacting with a human at a Turn off stdin echo, but if you send your password before theĪpplication turned off echo, then you get your password echoed. The problem is caused by theįact that most applications print out the “Password” prompt and then The user would then see that their password was echoed back

“Password:” prompt and then immediately call sendline() to send the

The typical problem was that a user would expect() a The delaybeforesend helps overcome a weird behavior that many users The default is False from Pexpect 4.0, meaning that SIGHUP

AfterĮxpect() returns, the full buffer attribute remains up to The default number of bytes scanned at each iteration is very largeĪnd may be reduced to collaterally reduce search cost. When the keyword argument searchwindowsize is None (default), theįull buffer is searched at each iteration of receiving incoming data. Value higher may help performance in cases where large amounts of The maxread size to 1 will turn off buffering. Of bytes that Pexpect will try to read from a TTY at one time. The maxread attribute sets the read buffer size. Shell_cmd = 'ls -l | grep LOG > logs.txt' child = pexpect. This is a handy replacement for os.system(). You call the run() function it executes a given program and then returns the The run()įunction is simpler than spawn, and is good for quickly calling program. There are two main interfaces to the Pexpect system these are the function, The Pexpect interface focuses on ease of use so It should work on any platform that supports Require TCL and Expect or require C extensions to be compiled. Libes’ Expect, but Pexpect is pure Python. ItĬan be used for automated software testing. Scripts for duplicating software package installations on different servers. Pexpect can be used for automating interactive applications Pexpect is a Python module for spawning child applications and controlling
