> Dumb question: why the nested try/except instead of two excepts? Is one
better than the other in this case?

> Perhaps just uninformed question: In expect.py, we send
`'quit;\n'+chr(3)`, but here you only send `chr(3)` (end of text
character, says wikipedia).
In maxima, "quit;" doesn't really do anything. You just get
{{{
(%i1) quit;
(%o1) quit
}}}
In don't understand why `expect.py` sends `quit;` when it needs to
interrupt. Since it doesn't do anything in Maxima, I omitted it.
And `chr(3)` is `CTRL-C`, in other words: the interrupt character.
