extension of fabric for handling prompts with pexpect

Project description

Fexpect is an extension to fabric for handling prompts with pexpect scripts.

Provisional documentation in these blogposts:

Please report bugs, request features at the github repository: http://github.com/ilogue/fexpect

Seems it doesn’t work well with easy_install, please install with pip.

usage

from ilogue.fexpect import expect, expecting, run

prompts = []
prompts += expect('What is your name?','Jasper')
prompts += expect('Where do you live?','Frankfurt')

with expecting(prompts):
    run('command')

You can use the included fabfile.py to run the fexpect tests:

fab test -p 'yourlocalpassword'

Note however that the tests may have different requirements (more recent fabric version). You can install these with the traditional:

python setup.py test
