But you can write to the master side of a pty regardless of what the process in it is doing - type 'sleep 10' into bash, and then try typing letters while it is doing nothing. We can't tell whether the process on the other side of the pty is actually waiting for input, only that the input buffer isn't full. That's why tools like pexpect can be used to look for know patterns like 'password: '. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Project Jupyter" group.
