[Python-Dev] Expect in python

[Lance Ellinghaus]

Yes. I have been using it for a while. It works very well, except 
to make it run on Solaris you have to make modifications to the posix
module. I submitted the necessary changes, but they were denied since
I made them Solaris specific. The module changes are in the submitted
patches on SourceForge under the Python project.
