RExpect

Has anyone used RExpect? Line 16 requires 'ropen3', which I have not
been able to find.

Subsitution of 'open3' works for all the functionality I've tested,
although I do notice a few quirks that might be caused by this
substitution.

I've moved to using the PTY module and the built in expect in lieu of
RExpect, as it was coring on me last time I tried it.

PTY/expect.rb seem to do a good job, and if expect is too basic you
can roll your own. Attached is a script I used to talk to
"apt-get upgrade" on Debian, as it's so curious.

apt-upgrade (2.01 KB)
