1 """Pexpect is a Python module for spawning child applications and controlling
2 them automatically. Pexpect can be used for automating interactive applications
3 such as ssh, ftp, passwd, telnet, etc. It can be used to a automate setup
4 scripts for duplicating software package installations on different servers. It
5 can be used for automated software testing. Pexpect is in the spirit of Don
6 Libes' Expect, but Pexpect is pure Python. Other Expect-like modules for Python
7 require TCL and Expect or require C extensions to be compiled. Pexpect does not
8 use C, Expect, or TCL extensions. It should work on any platform that supports
9 the standard Python pty module. The Pexpect interface focuses on ease of use so
10 that simple tasks are easy.
12 There are two main interfaces to the Pexpect system; these are the function,
13 run() and the class, spawn. The spawn class is more powerful. The run()
14 function is simpler than spawn, and is good for quickly calling program. When
15 you call the run() function it executes a given program and then returns the
16 output. This is a handy replacement for os.system().
22 The spawn class is the more powerful interface to the Pexpect system. You can
23 use this to spawn a child program then interact with it by sending input and
24 expecting responses (waiting for patterns in the child's output).
28 child = pexpect.spawn('scp foo user@example.com:.')
29 child.expect('Password:')
30 child.sendline(mypassword)
32 This works even for commands that ask for passwords or other input outside of
33 the normal stdio streams. For example, ssh reads input directly from the TTY
34 device which bypasses stdin.

155 This function runs the given command; waits for it to finish; then

157 path to the command is not given then the path is searched.
159 Note that lines are terminated by CR/LF (\\r\\n) combination even on
160 UNIX-like systems because this is the standard for pseudottys. If you set
161 'withexitstatus' to true, then run will return a tuple of (command_output,
162 exitstatus). If 'withexitstatus' is false then this returns just
165 The run() function can often be used instead of creating a spawn instance.
166 For example, the following code uses spawn::
168 from pexpect import *
169 child = spawn('scp foo user@example.com:.')
170 child.expect('(?i)password')
171 child.sendline(mypassword)
173 The previous code can be replace with the following::
175 from pexpect import *
176 run('scp foo user@example.com:.', events={'(?i)password': mypassword})
181 Start the apache daemon on the local machine::
183 from pexpect import *
184 run("/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start")
186 Check in a file using SVN::
188 from pexpect import *
189 run("svn ci -m 'automatic commit' my_file.py")
191 Run a command and capture exit status::
193 from pexpect import *
194 (command_output, exitstatus) = run('ls -l /bin', withexitstatus=1)
199 The following will run SSH and execute 'ls -l' on the remote machine. The
200 password 'secret' will be sent if the '(?i)password' pattern is ever seen::
202 run("ssh username@machine.example.com 'ls -l'",
203 events={'(?i)password':'secret\\n'})
205 This will start mencoder to rip a video from DVD. This will also display
206 progress ticks every 5 seconds as it runs. For example::
208 from pexpect import *
210 print d['event_count'],
211 run("mencoder dvd://1 -o video.avi -oac copy -ovc copy",
212 events={TIMEOUT:print_ticks}, timeout=5)
214 The 'events' argument should be a dictionary of patterns and responses.
215 Whenever one of the patterns is seen in the command out run() will send the
216 associated response string. Note that you should put newlines in your
217 string if Enter is necessary. The responses may also contain callback
218 functions. Any callback is function that takes a dictionary as an argument.
219 The dictionary contains all the locals from the run() function, so you can
220 access the child spawn object or any other variable defined in run()
221 (event_count, child, and extra_args are the most useful). A callback may
222 return True to stop the current run process otherwise run() continues until
223 the next event. A callback may also return a string which will be sent to
224 the child. 'extra_args' is not used by directly run(). It provides a way to
225 pass data to a callback function through run() through the locals
226 dictionary passed to a callback. """

285 """This is the constructor. The command parameter may be a string that
286 includes a command and any arguments to the command. For example::
288 child = pexpect.spawn('/usr/bin/ftp')
289 child = pexpect.spawn('/usr/bin/ssh user@example.com')
290 child = pexpect.spawn('ls -latr /tmp')
292 You may also construct it with a list of arguments like so::
294 child = pexpect.spawn('/usr/bin/ftp', [])
295 child = pexpect.spawn('/usr/bin/ssh', ['user@example.com'])
296 child = pexpect.spawn('ls', ['-latr', '/tmp'])
298 After this the child application will be created and will be ready to
299 talk to. For normal use, see expect() and send() and sendline().
301 Remember that Pexpect does NOT interpret shell meta characters such as
302 redirect, pipe, or wild cards (>, |, or *). This is a common mistake.
303 If you want to run a command and pipe it through another command then
304 you must also start a shell. For example::
306 child = pexpect.spawn('/bin/bash -c "ls -l | grep LOG > logs.txt"')
307 child.expect(pexpect.EOF)
309 The second form of spawn (where you pass a list of arguments) is useful
310 in situations where you wish to spawn a command and pass it its own
311 argument list. This can make syntax more clear. For example, the
312 following is equivalent to the previous example::
314 shell_cmd = 'ls -l | grep LOG > logs.txt'
315 child = pexpect.spawn('/bin/bash', ['-c', shell_cmd])
316 child.expect(pexpect.EOF)
318 The maxread attribute sets the read buffer size. This is maximum number
319 of bytes that Pexpect will try to read from a TTY at one time. Setting
320 the maxread size to 1 will turn off buffering. Setting the maxread
321 value higher may help performance in cases where large amounts of
322 output are read back from the child. This feature is useful in
323 conjunction with searchwindowsize.
325 The searchwindowsize attribute sets the how far back in the incomming
326 seach buffer Pexpect will search for pattern matches. Every time
327 Pexpect reads some data from the child it will append the data to the
328 incomming buffer. The default is to search from the beginning of the
329 imcomming buffer each time new data is read from the child. But this is
330 very inefficient if you are running a command that generates a large
331 amount of data where you want to match The searchwindowsize does not
332 effect the size of the incomming data buffer. You will still have
333 access to the full buffer after expect() returns.
335 The logfile member turns on or off logging. All input and output will
336 be copied to the given file object. Set logfile to None to stop
337 logging. This is the default. Set logfile to sys.stdout to echo
338 everything to standard output. The logfile is flushed after each write.
340 Example log input and output to a file::
342 child = pexpect.spawn('some_command')
343 fout = file('mylog.txt','w')
346 Example log to stdout::
348 child = pexpect.spawn('some_command')
349 child.logfile = sys.stdout
351 The logfile_read and logfile_send members can be used to separately log
352 the input from the child and output sent to the child. Sometimes you
353 don't want to see everything you write to the child. You only want to
354 log what the child sends back. For example::
356 child = pexpect.spawn('some_command')
357 child.logfile_read = sys.stdout
359 To separately log output sent to the child use logfile_send::
361 self.logfile_send = fout
363 The delaybeforesend helps overcome a weird behavior that many users
364 were experiencing. The typical problem was that a user would expect() a
365 "Password:" prompt and then immediately call sendline() to send the
366 password. The user would then see that their password was echoed back
367 to them. Passwords don't normally echo. The problem is caused by the
368 fact that most applications print out the "Password" prompt and then
369 turn off stdin echo, but if you send your password before the
370 application turned off echo, then you get your password echoed.
371 Normally this wouldn't be a problem when interacting with a human at a
372 real keyboard. If you introduce a slight delay just before writing then
373 this seems to clear up the problem. This was such a common problem for
374 many users that I decided that the default pexpect behavior should be
375 to sleep just before writing to the child application. 1/20th of a
376 second (50 ms) seems to be enough to clear up the problem. You can set
377 delaybeforesend to 0 to return to the old behavior. Most Linux machines
378 don't like this to be below 0.03. I don't know why.
380 Note that spawn is clever about finding commands on your path.
381 It uses the same logic that "which" uses to find executables.
383 If you wish to get the exit status of the child you must call the
384 close() method. The exit or signal status of the child will be stored
385 in self.exitstatus or self.signalstatus. If the child exited normally
386 then exitstatus will store the exit return code and signalstatus will
387 be None. If the child was terminated abnormally with a signal then
388 signalstatus will store the signal value and exitstatus will be None.
389 If you need more detail you can also read the self.status member which
390 stores the status returned by os.waitpid. You can interpret this using
391 os.WIFEXITED/os.WEXITSTATUS or os.WIFSIGNALED/os.TERMSIG. """

1330 # the input is 'foobar'
1331 index = p.expect(['foobar', 'foo'])
1332 # returns 0('foobar') if all input is available at once,
1333 # but returs 1('foo') if parts of the final 'bar' arrive late
1335 After a match is found the instance attributes 'before', 'after' and
1336 'match' will be set. You can see all the data read before the match in
1337 'before'. You can see the data that was matched in 'after'. The
1338 re.MatchObject used in the re match will be in 'match'. If an error
1339 occurred then 'before' will be set to all the data read so far and
1340 'after' and 'match' will be None.
1342 If timeout is -1 then timeout will be set to the self.timeout value.
1344 A list entry may be EOF or TIMEOUT instead of a string. This will
1345 catch these exceptions and return the index of the list entry instead
1346 of raising the exception. The attribute 'after' will be set to the
1347 exception type. The attribute 'match' will be None. This allows you to
1348 write code like this::
1350 index = p.expect(['good', 'bad', pexpect.EOF, pexpect.TIMEOUT])
1356 do_some_other_thing()
1358 do_something_completely_different()
1360 instead of code like this::
1363 index = p.expect(['good', 'bad'])
1369 do_some_other_thing()
1371 do_something_completely_different()
1373 These two forms are equivalent. It all depends on what you want. You
1374 can also just expect the EOF if you are waiting for all output of a
1375 child to finish. For example::
1377 p = pexpect.spawn('/bin/ls')
1378 p.expect(pexpect.EOF)
