Just FYI - pexpect is a Python app that works like Expect - which is by Don Libes and written in TCL. Expect comes with most Linux distributions and is available for most UNIX / Linux versions from its web site http://expect.nist.gov/
The expect man page is enough to get started for simple needs, such as yours appears to be. You might want to play around with the original Expect a bit and then try out pexpect - or you could just use Expect itself for your needs.
