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.

def doScp(user,password, host, path, files):
 fNames = ' '.join(files)
 print fNames
 child = pexpect.spawn('scp %s %s@%s:%s' % (fNames, user, host,path))
 print 'scp %s %s@%s:%s' % (fNames, user, host,path)
    i = child.expect(['assword:', r"yes/no"], timeout=30)
    if i == 0:
        child.sendline(password)
    elif i == 1:
        child.sendline("yes")
        child.expect("assword:", timeout=30)
        child.sendline(password)
    data = child.read()
    print data
    child.close()
