maybe i found why pexpect doesn't work in my environment. (but still, i
don't know how solve it)
my machine is actually a xen domain U, whose kernel is host's kernel.
when I test pexpect module directly on host machine, it works pretty fine.
and that's all I can do about it, maybe pexpect use pseudo-terminal, and
domain U doesn't support this well.
maybe nobody here has encountered this problem before, and i write here just
for everyone's information.
