Package: python3-ptyprocess Source: ptyprocess Version: 0.7.0-6 Architecture: all Maintainer: Debian Python Team Installed-Size: 59 Depends: python3:any Section: python Priority: optional Homepage: https://github.com/pexpect/ptyprocess Description: Run a subprocess in a pseudo terminal from Python 3 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. . This package installs the library for Python 3.
