Pexpect module first step - slouw - May-21-2019
I am reading up/watching videos and am taking my first baby steps with pexpect.
I expected (wrongly) that the sequence below would work.
That is I would spawn a process to ssh to the defined host.
Is "expect" really not defined within the said module?
Appreciate any help....

it need to be
pexpect.spawn() - there is missing p at the start
