Description
Pexpect enhances the functionality of Python when it comes to managing other applications. This pure Python library excels at spawning child processes, overseeing them, and reacting to predefined output patterns. Similar to Don Libes’ Expect, Pexpect allows your scripts to interact with child applications as if a human were entering commands. It is particularly useful for automating the control of interactive applications such as ssh, FTP, passwd, and telnet. Additionally, Pexpect can facilitate the automation of setup scripts, making it easier to replicate software package installations across various servers. It is also valuable for conducting automated software testing. While Pexpect is inspired by the principles of Expect, it is entirely implemented in Python, setting it apart from other similar modules. Notably, Pexpect does not necessitate the use of TCL or Expect, nor does it require the compilation of C extensions. This feature makes it versatile across any platform that supports Python's standard pty module. The user-friendly design of the Pexpect interface ensures ease of use for developers. Overall, Pexpect stands out as an effective tool for automating and controlling various applications seamlessly.
Description
Waiting is a compact library designed to facilitate the process of waiting for specific conditions to be met. It fundamentally pauses execution until a designated function returns True, offering various operational modes. Additionally, Waiting is designed to work seamlessly with flux for simulating timelines. The simplest way to utilize it is by providing a function to monitor. It’s straightforward to wait indefinitely; if your predicate yields a value, that value will be returned as the output of wait(). You can also set a timeout, and if this period lapses without the predicate being satisfied, an exception will occur. The library polls the predicate at a default interval of one second, which can be adjusted using the sleep_seconds parameter. When dealing with multiple predicates, Waiting offers two efficient methods for aggregation: any and all. These methods are similar to Python's built-in any() and all(), but they ensure that a predicate is not invoked more than necessary, which is particularly beneficial when working with predicates that are resource-intensive and time-consuming. By streamlining these functions, Waiting enhances both the efficiency and user experience of handling asynchronous operations.
