Hi Steven,
This is a common problem. The Unix folks have traditionally used a
program called "Expect" to automate talking with interactive external
processes. There's a Python equivalent to Expect: take a look at the
'pexpect' module. Here you go:
http://pexpect.sourceforge.net/
The documentation on that page has a few examples that should help you get
started. Best of wishes to you!
