---------------------------+--------------------------------------------
This meta-ticket tracks efforts to replace pexpect interface calls with
library calls, in order to minimize the usage of expect for time-critical
code. Packages used by Sage where this seems possible include
* mwrank
* GAP
* Singular
* ECL/Maxima
* PARI/GP (a few scripts #16687)
The following packages are used via pexpect in the Sage library
(noninteractively) and these calls should be replaced somehow in
the long term (this is a wishlist):
* Axiom (through fricas)
* giac
* kash
* Macaulay2
* Octave
* qepcad
* Scilab (two unused functions in `matrix/matrix1.pyx`)
