Could you expand on this a little? We've been using pexpect (both fdpexpect and pxssh) very successfully for our testing project. Admittedly, we only use Python3 so maybe that's where the problem is. Clearly, for this simple use case it should be acceptable to use tk-expect (even though I expect hardly anyone under the age of 40 to still know about it :-). But if we're going to reuse the same approach for other tests as well, we might benefit from a more powerful and python-integrated package. Regards, Arnout

expect package is required for various automation tests. One use case is to integrate the script from toolchain builder : https://github.com/bootlin/toolchains-builder/blob/master/build.sh to check Qemu build states. expect can be used to launch a qemu machine for a given architecture (x86, x86_64, mips, arm, sparc, nios2, ..., etc), send root password, wait for login and then perform shutdown. Special note concerning python-pexpect package which can be used for the same task: After testing the package, We have noticed that it does not show the automation process correcly (you may not even see the message welcome to buildroot) and it is not verbose when errors are encountered.
