+Pexpected version |version|
+===========================
+
+Pexpected is a Unicode-aware, Python 3 compatible fork of Pexpect, a pure Python
+Expect-like module.
+
+Pexpect makes Python a better tool for controlling other
+applications.
+
+Pexpect is a pure Python module for spawning child applications;
+controlling them; and responding to expected patterns in their output.
+Pexpect works like Don Libes' Expect. Pexpect allows your script to
+spawn a child application and control it as if a human were typing
+commands.
+
+Pexpect 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. Pexpect is in
+the spirit of Don Libes' Expect, but Pexpect is pure Python. Unlike
+other Expect-like modules for Python, Pexpect does not require TCL or
+Expect nor does it require C extensions to be compiled. It should work
+on any platform that supports the standard Python pty module. The
+Pexpect interface was designed to be easy to use.
