Certainly plain ol' expect does that kind of thing. Basically anything that reads stdin and displays on stdout or stderr can be driven by expect and therefore by pyexpect. > If I can get the interactive program to accept commands from a shell command > line I can figure out how to send commands from my favorite editor (VIM). Now that might be interesting :-) I assume you have the version of vim that uses python as its scripting language?
