What is wexpect?
Wexpect is a Python module for spawning child applications and controlling
them automatically. Wexpect can be used for automating interactive applications
such as ssh, ftp, passwd, telnet, etc. It can be used to a automate setup
scripts for duplicating software package installations on different servers. It
can be used for automated software testing. Wexpect is in the spirit of Don
Libes' Expect, but Wexpect is pure Python. Other Expect-like modules for Python
require TCL and Expect or require C extensions to be compiled. Wexpect does not
use C, Expect, or TCL extensions.
Original Pexpect should work on any platform that supports the standard Python pty module. While
Wexpect works on Windows platforms. The Wexpect interface focuses on ease of use so that simple
tasks are easy.

Deploy
The deployment itself is automated and done by appveyor.

version from the git tags.
