Replaced slow pexpect with subprocess.popen which is fast. Implemented Results()...

-Installation
-------------
-This is a standard Python Distutil distribution. To install simply run:
-
-    python setup.py install
-
-This makes Pexpect available to any script on the machine. You need
-root access to install it this way. If you do not have root access or
-if you do not wish to install Pexpect so that is available to any script
-then you can just copy the pexpect.py file to same directory as your script.

-Trouble on Debian and Ubuntu
-----------------------------
-For some stupid reason Debian Linux does not include the distutils module
-in the standard 'python' package. Instead, the distutils module is packaged
-separately in the 'python-dev' package. So to add distutils back
-into Python, simply use aptitude or apt-get to install 'python-dev'.
-As root, run this command:
-    apt-get install python-dev
-Why they do this is mysterious because:
-    - It breaks the Python model of "batteries included".
-    'distutils' isn't an extra or optional module --
-    it's parts of the Standard Python Library.
-    - The Debian 'python-dev' package is a microscopic 50K installed.
-    So what are they saving?
-    - Distutils is not only interesting to developers. Many non-development
-    oriented Python packages use 'distutils' to install applications.
-    - As far as I can tell, the package maintainers must go through
-    more trouble to remove 'distutils' from the standard Python
-    distribution than it would take just to leave it in.
