> That's interesting if we can do it in a systematic way. I wouldn't mind
getting rid of most pexpect interface with the exception of the notebook
(which may be harder).
I don't mean to stop using pexpect interfaces. I mean replacing parts of
pexpect itself: the main pexpect code is in one Python class `spawn` and
we can monkey-patch that by subclassing that and changing methods as we
please.
Since pexpect uses some low-level OS stuff, implementing the critical
parts in Cython might also give significant speed gain (I haven't tested
this yet, but surely calling `os.foo()` in Python and playing with strings
will be slower than directly calling the `foo()` system call from Cython).
