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.
