私はpython-pexpectが初めてです。Tcl/expect では、タイムアウトに達すると、メッセージで応答して関数を終了します。http://pexpect.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pexpect/trunk/pexpect/examples/sshls.py?revision=489&view=markupに投稿されたサンプル コードを使用して、同様の応答を試してみました 。
私は上記のこのコードに基づいています - 偽のパスワードを与えると、これがタイムアウトし、「エラー!」を出力して、プログラムを終了することが予想されます。しかし、それを実行すると、「トレースバック出力(以下を参照)」に入ります。誰かがプログラムに「エラー」を出力させ、プログラムを正常に終了させるのを手伝ってもらえますか。
