If you need to start up a program, provide interactive input to it, and
perhaps examine its interactive output, then you want the "pexpect" module:
Pexpect is a pure Python module for spawning child applications;
controlling them; and responding to expected patterns in their output.
Pexpect allows your script to spawn a child application and control it
as if a human were typing commands.
