Yes, this is one reason. Another reason is that interrupting the calculation is much easier over pexpect. Third, note that you are potentially using different algorithms: I.groebner_basis() calls the groebner heuristic function while libsingular:std calls the standard Buchberger directly. We would use the excellent heuristics of Singular since they are implemented as Singular script.
