79 <dl><dt><a name="fdspawn-compile_pattern_list"><strong>compile_pattern_list</strong></a>(self, patterns)</dt><dd><tt>This compiles a pattern-string or a list of pattern-strings.<br>
80 Patterns must be a StringType, EOF, TIMEOUT, SRE_Pattern, or a list of<br>
81 those. Patterns may also be None which results in an empty list (you<br>
82 might do this if waiting for an EOF or TIMEOUT condition without<br>
83 expecting any pattern).<br>
85 This is used by <a href="#fdspawn-expect">expect</a>() when calling <a href="#fdspawn-expect_list">expect_list</a>(). Thus <a href="#fdspawn-expect">expect</a>() is<br>
86 nothing more than::<br>
88 cpl = <a href="#fdspawn-compile_pattern_list">compile_pattern_list</a>(pl)<br>
89 return <a href="#fdspawn-expect_list">expect_list</a>(cpl, timeout)<br>
91 If you are using <a href="#fdspawn-expect">expect</a>() within a loop it may be more<br>
92 efficient to compile the patterns first and then call <a href="#fdspawn-expect_list">expect_list</a>().<br>
93 This avoid calls in a loop to <a href="#fdspawn-compile_pattern_list">compile_pattern_list</a>()::<br>
95 cpl = <a href="#fdspawn-compile_pattern_list">compile_pattern_list</a>(my_pattern)<br>
96 while some_condition:<br>
97 ...<br>
98 i = <a href="#fdspawn-expect_list">expect_list</a>(clp, timeout)<br>
99 ...</tt></dd></dl>

103 <dl><dt><a name="fdspawn-expect"><strong>expect</strong></a>(self, pattern, timeout<font color="#909090">=-1</font>, searchwindowsize<font color="#909090">=None</font>)</dt><dd><tt>This seeks through the stream until a pattern is matched. The<br>
104 pattern is overloaded and may take several types. The pattern can be a<br>
105 StringType, EOF, a compiled re, or a list of any of those types.<br>
106 Strings will be compiled to re types. This returns the index into the<br>
107 pattern list. If the pattern was not a list this returns index 0 on a<br>
108 successful match. This may raise exceptions for EOF or TIMEOUT. To<br>
109 avoid the EOF or TIMEOUT exceptions add EOF or TIMEOUT to the pattern<br>
110 list. That will cause expect to match an EOF or TIMEOUT condition<br>
111 instead of raising an exception.<br>
113 If you pass a list of patterns and more than one matches, the first match<br>
114 in the stream is chosen. If more than one pattern matches at that point,<br>
115 the leftmost in the pattern list is chosen. For example::<br>
117 # the input is 'foobar'<br>
118 index = p.expect (['bar', 'foo', 'foobar'])<br>
119 # returns 1 ('foo') even though 'foobar' is a "better" match<br>
121 Please note, however, that buffering can affect this behavior, since<br>
122 input arrives in unpredictable chunks. For example::<br>
124 # the input is 'foobar'<br>
125 index = p.expect (['foobar', 'foo'])<br>
126 # returns 0 ('foobar') if all input is available at once,<br>
127 # but returs 1 ('foo') if parts of the final 'bar' arrive late<br>
129 After a match is found the instance attributes 'before', 'after' and<br>
130 'match' will be set. You can see all the data read before the match in<br>
131 'before'. You can see the data that was matched in 'after'. The<br>
132 re.MatchObject used in the re match will be in 'match'. If an error<br>
133 occurred then 'before' will be set to all the data read so far and<br>
134 'after' and 'match' will be None.<br>
136 If timeout is -1 then timeout will be set to the self.<strong>timeout</strong> value.<br>
138 A list entry may be EOF or TIMEOUT instead of a string. This will<br>
139 catch these exceptions and return the index of the list entry instead<br>
140 of raising the exception. The attribute 'after' will be set to the<br>
141 exception type. The attribute 'match' will be None. This allows you to<br>
142 write code like this::<br>
144 index = p.expect (['good', 'bad', pexpect.EOF, pexpect.TIMEOUT])<br>
145 if index == 0:<br>
146 do_something()<br>
147 elif index == 1:<br>
148 do_something_else()<br>
149 elif index == 2:<br>
150 do_some_other_thing()<br>
151 elif index == 3:<br>
152 do_something_completely_different()<br>
154 instead of code like this::<br>
156 try:<br>
157 index = p.expect (['good', 'bad'])<br>
158 if index == 0:<br>
159 do_something()<br>
160 elif index == 1:<br>
161 do_something_else()<br>
162 except EOF:<br>
163 do_some_other_thing()<br>
164 except TIMEOUT:<br>
165 do_something_completely_different()<br>
167 These two forms are equivalent. It all depends on what you want. You<br>
168 can also just expect the EOF if you are waiting for all output of a<br>
169 child to finish. For example::<br>
171 p = pexpect.<a href="pexpect.html#spawn">spawn</a>('/bin/ls')<br>
172 p.expect (pexpect.EOF)<br>
173 print p.before<br>

178 of compiled regular expressions in 'pattern_list'. The 'pattern_list'<br>
179 may be a string; a list or other sequence of strings; or TIMEOUT and<br>
182 This call might be faster than <a href="#fdspawn-expect">expect</a>() for two reasons: string<br>
183 searching is faster than RE matching and it is possible to limit the<br>
184 search to just the end of the input buffer.<br>
186 This method is also useful when you don't want to have to worry about<br>
187 escaping regular expression characters that you want to match.</tt></dd></dl>

190 index into the pattern_list that matched the child output. The list may<br>

193 <a href="#fdspawn-expect_list">expect_list</a>() does not recompile the pattern list on every call. This<br>
194 may help if you are trying to optimize for speed, otherwise just use<br>
195 the <a href="#fdspawn-expect">expect</a>() method. This is called by <a href="#fdspawn-expect">expect</a>(). If timeout==-1 then<br>
196 the self.<strong>timeout</strong> value is used. If searchwindowsize==-1 then the<br>

218 human at the keyboard). Keystrokes are sent to the child process, and<br>
219 the stdout and stderr output of the child process is printed. This<br>
220 simply echos the child stdout and child stderr to the real stdout and<br>
221 it echos the real stdin to the child stdin. When the user types the<br>
222 escape_character this method will stop. The default for<br>
223 escape_character is ^]. This should not be confused with ASCII 27 --<br>
224 the ESC character. ASCII 29 was chosen for historical merit because<br>
225 this is the character used by 'telnet' as the escape character. The<br>
226 escape_character will not be sent to the child process.<br>
228 You may pass in optional input and output filter functions. These<br>
229 functions should take a string and return a string. The output_filter<br>
230 will be passed all the output from the child process. The input_filter<br>
231 will be passed all the keyboard input from the user. The input_filter<br>
232 is run BEFORE the check for the escape_character.<br>
234 Note that if you change the window size of the parent the SIGWINCH<br>
235 signal will not be passed through to the child. If you want the child<br>
236 window size to change when the parent's window size changes then do<br>
237 something like the following example::<br>
239 import pexpect, struct, fcntl, termios, signal, sys<br>
240 def sigwinch_passthrough (sig, data):<br>

255 EOF before obtaining size bytes). If the size argument is negative or<br>
256 omitted, read all data until EOF is reached. The bytes are returned as<br>
257 a string object. An empty string is returned when EOF is encountered<br>
258 immediately.</tt></dd></dl>

261 includes a timeout. If the read does not complete within the timeout<br>
262 period then a TIMEOUT exception is raised. If the end of file is read<br>
263 then an EOF exception will be raised. If a log file was set using<br>
264 <a href="#fdspawn-setlog">setlog</a>() then all data will also be written to the log file.<br>
266 If timeout is None then the read may block indefinitely. If timeout is -1<br>
267 then the self.<strong>timeout</strong> value is used. If timeout is 0 then the child is<br>
268 polled and if there was no data immediately ready then this will raise<br>
269 a TIMEOUT exception.<br>
271 The timeout refers only to the amount of time to read at least one<br>
272 character. This is not effected by the 'size' parameter, so if you call<br>
273 <a href="#fdspawn-read_nonblocking">read_nonblocking</a>(size=100, timeout=30) and only one character is<br>
274 available right away then one character will be returned immediately.<br>
275 It will not wait for 30 seconds for another 99 characters to come in.<br>
277 This is a wrapper around os.<a href="#fdspawn-read">read</a>(). It uses select.select() to<br>
278 implement the timeout.</tt></dd></dl>

283 because this is what the pseudo tty device returns. So contrary to what<br>
284 you may expect you will receive the newline as \r\n. An empty string<br>
285 is returned when EOF is hit immediately. Currently, the size argument is<br>
286 mostly ignored, so this behavior is not standard for a file-like<br>
