+ptyprocess (python module)
+
+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.
