# The devel/py-ptyprocess port

## py-ptyprocess-0.5.1p1 – run a subprocess in a pseudo terminal

## Description

    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.
