I have no reason to doubt you.  :-)

Checking pexpect's documentation, and re-reading your code I see that you
have not called "close()".  As the documentation says:

(http://pexpect.sourceforge.net/doc/pexpect.html)
"""
close(self, wait=1)
(...)
Only set wait to false if you know the child will
continue to run after closing the controlling TTY.
Otherwise you will end up with defunct (zombie) processes.
"""


Be seeing you,
