RFS: ptyprocess -- Run a subprocess in a pseudo terminal from Python



* Package name   : ptyprocess
  Version        : 0.5

  Description    : Run a subprocess in a pseudo terminal in Python

Launch a subprocess in a pseudo terminal (pty), and interact with both the process and its pty.

Sometimes, piping stdin and stdout is not enough. There might be a password prompt that doesn't read from stdin, output that changes when
it's going to a pipe rather than a terminal, or curses-style interfaces that rely on a terminal. If you need to automate these things,
running the process in a pseudo terminal (pty) is the answer.

It is a dependency for terminado (RFP #787201), on which ipython's newer version (#780408) depends in its turn for its notebook.

I have a package ready for review at the usual place:
Vcs-Git: git://anonscm.debian.org/python-modules/packages/ptyprocess.git
Vcs-Browser: http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=python-modules/packages/ptyprocess.git

Snark on #debian-python
