pexpect.fdpexpect — Pexpect 4.1.0 documentation

# Source code for pexpect.fdpexpect

    '''This is like pexpect, but it will work with any file descriptor that you
    pass it. You are reponsible for opening and close the file descriptor.
    This allows you to use Pexpect with sockets and named pipes (FIFOs).
