While Tcl-based Expect <URL: http://wiki.tcl.tk/expect > is
indeed a remarkable achievement, please be aware, as Avell
Diroll mentions elsewhere in this thread, that there is a
Python-based pexpect <URL: http://pexpect.sourceforge.net/ >
with all the basic functionality of its predecessor. For
most programming requirements you're likely to encounter,
pexpect will serve you as well as Expect, and, of course, the
former is easier to use for Pythoneers.
