  Description    : Run a subprocess in a pseudo terminal in Python

Launch a subprocess in a pseudo terminal (pty), and interact with both the 
process and its pty.

Sometimes, piping stdin and stdout is not enough. There might be a password 
prompt that doesn't read from stdin, output that changes when 
it's going to a pipe rather than a terminal, or curses-style interfaces that 
rely on a terminal. If you need to automate these things, 
running the process in a pseudo terminal (pty) is the answer.

It is a dependency for terminado (RFP #787201), on which ipython's newer 
version (#780408) depends in its turn for its notebook.
