[python-win32] Expect-like behavior

[Tennis Smith]

Hi,

 

I'm new to both python and consequently its use on win32.  I understand
from lots of sources that "pexpect" is the overall best Expect-like
implementation in python. *But* I also see that the only way to make it
work in win32 is on cygwin.   Unfortunately, that isn't an option for my
users.  We use the ActiveState python and would like to have Expect
functionality on that rather than installing/supporting 2 different
python implementations on the same machine.

 

Mostly what's needed is the ability to spawn processes (with a timeout)
and parse their output.

 

What's the best option currently available for us?

 

Thanks,

-T
