Awesome. This is exactly what I was hoping existed.
subprocess works well for spawn process, send input, receive output,
read exit code type jobs.
For jobs which require interactivity ie send input, receive output,
send input, receive output, ... it doesn't work well. There isn't a
good cross platform solution for this yet. pyexpect works well under
unix and is hopefully being ported to windows soon.
I haven't read all of this thread, so excuse me if this is out of place.
There is a good cross-platform solution, in fact. It's Twisted's
spawnProcess API, which works on POSIX and Windows, supports supports
sending and receiving, and doesn't have deadlock issues since it's
event-driven.
