Maybe pexpect does what you want? https://pypi.org/project/pexpect/

We recently started using it to test make targets in the Open edX development environment, those tests are at https://github.com/edx/devstack/tree/master/tests if they're useful for reference.

Hi folks.

 

Are there any tools available for system testing a large, shell-callable python script with many different command line options?

 

I'm aware of pytest for unit tests, but what about running a shell command with some options, and checking its stdout for appropriate content?

 

Thanks.
