I'm attempting to utilize pexpect module (version 3.3) with Python 3.4.0. I get an error saying
TypeError: must be str, not bytes
At the point when I call child.expect technique.
Real code is a standard example from pexpect documentation:
child = pexpect.spawn('ssh [email protected]')
index = child.expect([pexpect.TIMEOUT, pexpect.EOF, ssh_newkey, '.*password:'])
The very same code works appropriately with pexpect module (version 3.1), and Python version 2.7.6.
Pexpect documentation on GitHub states that pexpect version 3.3 requires Python 2.6 or 3.2 or above. Can anyone say whether pexpect doesn't work with Python 3 for reasons unknown in spite of what is expressed in the documentation for this module?
Traceback output which I get:

Moreover, I additionally see "OpenSSH" box open up through GUI on Ubuntu prompting for a password when I run the content. This doesn't occur under Python 2.7.6. In Python 2.7, I can log in to the framework with no manual communication - everything happens consequently by means of content.
