pexpect

child = pexpect.spawn ('/bin/bash') child.sendline('ls') print(child.readline()) print child.before, child.after All I get with this code in my output is ls ls But when my code is child = pexpect.spawn('ls') print(child.readline()) print child.before, child.after Then it works, but only for the first 2 prints. Am I using the wrong send command? I tried send, write, sendline, and couldn't find anymore. Catalin Luta In pexpect the before and after attributes are populated after an expect method. The most common thing used in this situation is waiting for the prompt (so you'll know that the

I have a ncurses app that checks terminal size at startup and exits immediately if it doesn't fit. In Linux, the default size is 80x24, this app requires at least 25. The fix is easy, I'm just resizing the terminal emulation window (in X) before running the ncurses app. I would like to automate the ncurses app with pexpect, but I'm getting stuck because it considers the terminal size smaller than required when launched through pexpect, so it doesn't run. Any way to specify the terminal size with pexpect explicitly at startup? Try setting the LINES and COLUMNS environment variables before you

Seeking means to get Fabric to automatically (instead of user-interactively) interact with shell commands (and not just requests for passwords, but also requested user input when no "stdin/interactive override" like apt-get install -y is available). This question along with these Fabric docs suggest that Fabric can only "push the interactivity" back to the human user that's running the Fabric program. Seeking to instead fully automate without any human presence. Don't yet have a "real," current problem to solve, just preparing for possible, future obstacle. Possibly useful to combine with

I am using Python3.6, when i try to install "modules" using pip3, i am facing the below mentioned issue "pip is configured with locations that require TLS/SSL, however the ssl module in Python is not available" Please help me to solve this issue For Windows 10 if you want use pip in normal cmd, not only in Anaconda prompt. you need add 3 environment paths. like these: D:\Anaconda3; D:\Anaconda3\Scripts; D:\Anaconda3\Library\bin most people only add D:\Anaconda3\Scripts; For future Oracle Linux users trying to solve this, below is what worked for me. First install missing libs: yum install zlib

I am trying to find a way in Python to run other programs in such a way that: The stdout and stderr of the program being run can be logged separately. The stdout and stderr of the program being run can be viewed in near-real time, such that if the child process hangs, the user can see. (i.e. we do not wait for execution to complete before printing the stdout/stderr to the user) Bonus criteria: The program being run does not know it is being run via python, and thus will not do unexpected things (like chunk its output instead of printing it in real-time, or exit because it demands a terminal to
