Sorry maybe 'not sufficient' was the wrong excuse. Maybe the right

Thanks for your response. It;s good to see you're promtoing Pexpect. I
was actualy wokring on a project at work that could have used Pexpect
to automate the creation of maps by tieing togethr a bunch of
processes through SSH and Pexpect looked like the money shot.
however it was enough of a battle

thanks for the uggestion about sendkeys. I might be able to build that
into the wrapper.
So you're sugesting:
NIX = Pexpect
WINDOZE = sendkeys

You could start up a pty and do your own Pexpect-like thing, using
read/readline/write.
However, this may not be portable to windows. Maybe if you get the python
that comes with cygwin, or build your own python under the cygwin
environment - that might be more likely to get you pty's under windo
