Sure, Pexpect is just a small Python implementation of 'Expect'. But this brings up a bigger issue, which is: "how does 'the computation engine' backend (Sage), connect to the frontend" and related questions like: -what if I want the 'computation engine' to be on another machine (remote) ? -how do you *decouple* the backend from the front-end ? -what if you cant use Pexpect (Windows) ? we are solving this problems with the notion of a 'Kernel', which is an object that deals with the above issues. Pexpect is just one type of kernel connection. There are a lot of details to this, but I'm not sure how much you want to know. -Alex > > > --Mike > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
