Launch a subprocess in a pseudo terminal (pty), and interact with both the
|
||
|
|
process and its pty.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Sometimes, piping stdin and stdout is not enough. There might be a password
|
||
|
|
prompt that doesn't read from stdin, output that changes when it's going to a
|
||
|
|
pipe rather than a terminal, or curses-style interfaces that rely on a terminal.
|
||
|
|
If you need to automate these things, running the process in a pseudo terminal
|
||
|
|
(pty) is the answer.

Interface::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
p = PtyProcessUnicode.spawn(['python'])
|
||
|
|
p.read(20)
|
||
|
|
p.write('6+6\n')
|
||
|
|
p.read(20)
