pexpect 3.0

on Python PyPI

The new major version number doesn't indicate any deliberate API incompatibility.
We have endeavoured to avoid breaking existing APIs. However, pexpect is under new maintenance after a long dormancy, so some caution is warranted.

• A new unicode API was introduced.
• Python 3 is now supported, using a single codebase.
• Pexpect now requires at least Python 2.6 or 3.2.
• The modules other than pexpect, such as pexpect.fdpexpect and pexpect.pxssh, were moved into the pexpect package. For now, wrapper modules are installed to the old locations for backwards compatibility (e.g. import pxssh will still work), but these will be removed at some point in the future.
• Ignoring SIGHUP is now optional - thanks to Kimmo Parviainen-Jalanko for the patch.

We also now have docs on ReadTheDocs, and continuous integration on Travis CI.
