Replying to [comment:1 fbissey]:
> The notebook also uses pexpect. I am not sure there is much of an
alternative there but at least we should try to move it to a more modern
pexpect. Trying to do so results in breakages that I have no idea how to
solve currently.
There is, especially when you're programming both sides. You can have two
processes communicate through a pipe or stream without one of the parties
pretending to be a terminal.
That said, the fact that the notebook *does* use pexpect makes it easier
to use it to interface with R, octave, magma, etc, so we do get some
benefit from it.
