This will only work if the program can be fully controlled by

Why do you say that? You can interact with programs via
stdin/stdout using the subprocess module.
Because usually if a program *prompts* the user to enter input (and that
was what I read from the OP's post), one has to deal with pseudo
terminals, not with stdin/out.
If interaction is required, the OP might consider using
pexpect.
Pexpect is a good option, but it's just an automation layer on
top of the same facilities that subprocess provides.
AFAIK it's more than that. I'm not an expert on pseudo terminals, but
AFAIK setting using module pty isn't possible using subprocess.
