Good, this is the kind of module that would make the Python standard library more useful. However, I've seen many implementations of this before. Before yours gets accepted into the standard library, you have to convince us that your version is "best of breed". That's been done before: the logging package and the optparse module came about this way. But you have to do the research to compare your version with others. I recommend that you take this to c.l.py first.

How does this differ from http://pexpect.sourceforge.net/

I knew you would ask that. I did look at those others, and compared them. But ultimately I wrote my own from scratch. Of course, I like mine a lot better... I will provide more details later, as it would require quite a treatise on that subject.
