From quite a long time i was looking for a python module like "pexpect" for windows OS. I have wasted so many hours of mine to get some work around, finally what i got might help you all.
1. We can install pexpect module of python on windows . :) :) But it requires cygwin installation.
2. Download Cygwin and install from any official site. Eg: http://cygwin.com
3. Once cygwin installation has completed, start cygwin session. (execute: cygwin.bat from installation directory or double click shortcut of cygwin on your desktop.)
4. All windows directories will be referenced with respect to /cygdrive . Eg: D: directory will be referenced as /cygdrive/d/
5. execute following given below commands: Make sure python is installed on your system if not please install before executing given below commands.
#### assuming your python installation directory is C:/python25 ####
$ alias pythonpath=/cygdrive/c/python25/python
$ export pythonpath
6. Now check all well or not :
$ which python
/usr/local/python
#### if every thing will be ok It will return "/usr/local/python" other wise go through steps given above and check u did all as mentioned there #############
7. Now get your pexpect.tar.gz file.
$ tar -xvzf pexpect.tar.gz
$ cd pexpect
$ python setup.py build
$ python setup.py install
8. Now you can use pexpect in your python script:
Note: you can use pexpect module on python from cygwin prompt only (For: Windows OS).
