[Merge] lp:~mterry/duplicity/drop-pexpect into lp:duplicity

 

Michael Terry has proposed merging lp:~mterry/duplicity/drop-pexpect into lp:duplicity with lp:~mterry/duplicity/fix-drop-u1 as a prerequisite.

Requested reviews:
  duplicity-team (duplicity-team)

For more details, see:
https://code.launchpad.net/~mterry/duplicity/drop-pexpect/+merge/216389

Drop our local copy of pexpect in favor of a system version.

It's only used by the pexpect ssh backend (and if you're opting into that, you probably can expect that you will need pexpect) and the tests.

I've done a quick smoketest (backed up and restored using --ssh-backend=pexpect) and it seemed to work fine with a modern version of pexpect.

-"""Pexpect is a Python module for spawning child applications and controlling
-them automatically. Pexpect can be used for automating interactive applications
-such as ssh, ftp, passwd, telnet, etc. It can be used to a automate setup
-scripts for duplicating software package installations on different servers. It
-can be used for automated software testing. Pexpect is in the spirit of Don
-Libes' Expect, but Pexpect is pure Python. Other Expect-like modules for Python
-require TCL and Expect or require C extensions to be compiled. Pexpect does not
-use C, Expect, or TCL extensions. It should work on any platform that supports
-the standard Python pty module. The Pexpect interface focuses on ease of use so
-that simple tasks are easy.
-
-There are two main interfaces to Pexpect -- the function, run() and the class,
-spawn. You can call the run() function to execute a command and return the
-output. This is a handy replacement for os.system().
-
-For example::
-
-    pexpect.run('ls -la')
-
-The more powerful interface is the spawn class. You can use this to spawn an
-external child command and then interact with the child by sending lines and
-expecting responses.
-
-For example::
-
-    child = pexpect.spawn('scp foo myname@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:.')
-    child.expect ('Password:')
-    child.sendline (mypassword)
-
-This works even for commands that ask for passwords or other input outside of
-the normal stdio streams.

-        run ('scp foo myname@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:.', events={'(?i)password': mypassword})
-
-    Examples
-    ========
-
-    Start the apache daemon on the local machine::
-
-        from pexpect import * #@UnusedWildImport
-        run ("/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start")
-
-    Check in a file using SVN::
-
-        from pexpect import * #@UnusedWildImport
-        run ("svn ci -m 'automatic commit' my_file.py")
-
-    Run a command and capture exit status::
-
-        from pexpect import * #@UnusedWildImport
-        (command_output, exitstatus) = run ('ls -l /bin', withexitstatus=1)
-
-    Tricky Examples
-    ===============
-
-    The following will run SSH and execute 'ls -l' on the remote machine. The
-    password 'secret' will be sent if the '(?i)password' pattern is ever seen::
-
-        run ("ssh username@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 'ls -l'", events={'(?i)password':'secret\\n'})
-
-    This will start mencoder to rip a video from DVD. This will also display
-    progress ticks every 5 seconds as it runs. For example::
-
-        from pexpect import * #@UnusedWildImport
-        def print_ticks(d):
-            print d['event_count'],
-        run ("mencoder dvd://1 -o video.avi -oac copy -ovc copy", events={TIMEOUT:print_ticks}, timeout=5)
-
-    The 'events' argument should be a dictionary of patterns and responses.
-    Whenever one of the patterns is seen in the command out run() will send the
-    associated response string. Note that you should put newlines in your
-    string if Enter is necessary. The responses may also contain callback
-    functions. Any callback is function that takes a dictionary as an argument.
-    The dictionary contains all the locals from the run() function, so you can
-    access the child spawn object or any other variable defined in run()
-    (event_count, child, and extra_args are the most useful). A callback may
-    return True to stop the current run process otherwise run() continues until
-    the next event. A callback may also return a string which will be sent to
-    the child. 'extra_args' is not used by directly run(). It provides a way to
-    pass data to a callback function through run() through the locals
-    dictionary passed to a callback. """

-
-        """This is the constructor. The command parameter may be a string that
-        includes a command and any arguments to the command. For example::
-
-            child = pexpect.spawn ('/usr/bin/ftp')
-            child = pexpect.spawn ('/usr/bin/ssh user@xxxxxxxxxxx')
-            child = pexpect.spawn ('ls -latr /tmp')
-
-        You may also construct it with a list of arguments like so::
-
-            child = pexpect.spawn ('/usr/bin/ftp', [])
-            child = pexpect.spawn ('/usr/bin/ssh', ['user@xxxxxxxxxxx'])
-            child = pexpect.spawn ('ls', ['-latr', '/tmp'])
-
-        After this the child application will be created and will be ready to
-        talk to. For normal use, see expect() and send() and sendline().
-
-        Remember that Pexpect does NOT interpret shell meta characters such as
-        redirect, pipe, or wild cards (>, |, or *). This is a common mistake.
-        If you want to run a command and pipe it through another command then
-        you must also start a shell. For example::
-
-            child = pexpect.spawn('/bin/bash -c "ls -l | grep LOG > log_list.txt"')
-            child.expect(pexpect.EOF)
-
-        The second form of spawn (where you pass a list of arguments) is useful
-        in situations where you wish to spawn a command and pass it its own
-        argument list. This can make syntax more clear. For example, the
-        following is equivalent to the previous example::
-
-            shell_cmd = 'ls -l | grep LOG > log_list.txt'
-            child = pexpect.spawn('/bin/bash', ['-c', shell_cmd])
-            child.expect(pexpect.EOF)
-
-        The maxread attribute sets the read buffer size. This is maximum number
-        of bytes that Pexpect will try to read from a TTY at one time. Setting
-        the maxread size to 1 will turn off buffering. Setting the maxread
-        value higher may help performance in cases where large amounts of
-        output are read back from the child. This feature is useful in
-        conjunction with searchwindowsize.
-
-        The searchwindowsize attribute sets the how far back in the incomming
-        seach buffer Pexpect will search for pattern matches. Every time
-        Pexpect reads some data from the child it will append the data to the
-        incomming buffer. The default is to search from the beginning of the
-        imcomming buffer each time new data is read from the child. But this is
-        very inefficient if you are running a command that generates a large
-        amount of data where you want to match The searchwindowsize does not
-        effect the size of the incomming data buffer. You will still have
-        access to the full buffer after expect() returns.
-
-        The logfile member turns on or off logging. All input and output will
-        be copied to the given file object. Set logfile to None to stop
-        logging. This is the default. Set logfile to sys.stdout to echo
-        everything to standard output. The logfile is flushed after each write.
-
-        Example log input and output to a file::
-
-            child = pexpect.spawn('some_command')
-            fout = file('mylog.txt','w')
-            child.logfile = fout
-
-        Example log to stdout::
-
-            child = pexpect.spawn('some_command')
-            child.logfile = sys.stdout
-
-        The logfile_read and logfile_send members can be used to separately log
-        the input from the child and output sent to the child. Sometimes you
-        don't want to see everything you write to the child. You only want to
-        log what the child sends back. For example::
-
-            child = pexpect.spawn('some_command')
-            child.logfile_read = sys.stdout
-
-        To separately log output sent to the child use logfile_send::
-
-            self.logfile_send = fout
-
-        The delaybeforesend helps overcome a weird behavior that many users
-        were experiencing. The typical problem was that a user would expect() a
-        "Password:" prompt and then immediately call sendline() to send the
-        password. The user would then see that their password was echoed back
-        to them. Passwords don't normally echo. The problem is caused by the
-        fact that most applications print out the "Password" prompt and then
-        turn off stdin echo, but if you send your password before the
-        application turned off echo, then you get your password echoed.
-        Normally this wouldn't be a problem when interacting with a human at a
-        real keyboard. If you introduce a slight delay just before writing then
-        this seems to clear up the problem. This was such a common problem for
-        many users that I decided that the default pexpect behavior should be
-        to sleep just before writing to the child application. 1/20th of a
-        second (50 ms) seems to be enough to clear up the problem. You can set
-        delaybeforesend to 0 to return to the old behavior. Most Linux machines
-        don't like this to be below 0.03. I don't know why.
-
-        Note that spawn is clever about finding commands on your path.
-        It uses the same logic that "which" uses to find executables.
-
-        If you wish to get the exit status of the child you must call the
-        close() method. The exit or signal status of the child will be stored

-        pattern is overloaded and may take several types. The pattern can be a
-        StringType, EOF, a compiled re, or a list of any of those types.
-        Strings will be compiled to re types. This returns the index into the
-        pattern list. If the pattern was not a list this returns index 0 on a
-        successful match. This may raise exceptions for EOF or TIMEOUT. To
-        avoid the EOF or TIMEOUT exceptions add EOF or TIMEOUT to the pattern
-        list. That will cause expect to match an EOF or TIMEOUT condition
-        instead of raising an exception.
-
-        If you pass a list of patterns and more than one matches, the first match
-        in the stream is chosen. If more than one pattern matches at that point,
-        the leftmost in the pattern list is chosen. For example::
-
-            # the input is 'foobar'
-            index = p.expect (['bar', 'foo', 'foobar'])
-            # returns 1 ('foo') even though 'foobar' is a "better" match
-
-        Please note, however, that buffering can affect this behavior, since
-        input arrives in unpredictable chunks. For example::
-
-            # the input is 'foobar'
-            index = p.expect (['foobar', 'foo'])
-            # returns 0 ('foobar') if all input is available at once,
-            # but returs 1 ('foo') if parts of the final 'bar' arrive late
-
-        After a match is found the instance attributes 'before', 'after' and
-        'match' will be set. You can see all the data read before the match in
-        'before'. You can see the data that was matched in 'after'. The
-        re.MatchObject used in the re match will be in 'match'. If an error
-        occurred then 'before' will be set to all the data read so far and
-        'after' and 'match' will be None.
-
-        If timeout is -1 then timeout will be set to the self.timeout value.
-
-        A list entry may be EOF or TIMEOUT instead of a string. This will
-        catch these exceptions and return the index of the list entry instead
-        of raising the exception. The attribute 'after' will be set to the
-        exception type. The attribute 'match' will be None. This allows you to
-        write code like this::
-
-                index = p.expect (['good', 'bad', pexpect.EOF, pexpect.TIMEOUT])
-                if index == 0:

-                    do_something_else()
-                elif index == 2:
-                    do_some_other_thing()
-                elif index == 3:
-                    do_something_completely_different()
-
-        instead of code like this::
-
-                try:
-                    index = p.expect (['good', 'bad'])
-                    if index == 0:
-                        do_something()

-
-        These two forms are equivalent. It all depends on what you want. You
-        can also just expect the EOF if you are waiting for all output of a
-        child to finish. For example::
-
-                p = pexpect.spawn('/bin/ls')
-                p.expect (pexpect.EOF)
-                print p.before
