Can I use Expect on Windows without installing Cygwin?

Question

Expect is a module used for spawning child applications and controlling them. I\'m interested in Python and Ruby.

Answer 1

Use pexpect https://github.com/pexpect/pexpect

"Pexpect is pure Python" so it will run anywhere, without Cygwin too,

edit: pexpect depends on pty module which is currently available only for Linux, so as Nik suggested you should be using wexpect which is a port of pexpect
