pexpect matching?

[Didymus]

Greetings,

  I have the following code:

import pexpect

child = pexpect.spawn('/bin/bash')
i = child.expect_exact('bash-3.2$ ')

child.sendline("rpm -q --queryformat '%{VERSION}\\n' glibc")
i = child.expect (['2', '2.5', '2.52.5', pexpect.TIMEOUT])

print  child.before
print '---'
print  child.after

if i == 0:
    print 'We got 2'
elif i == 1:
    print 'We got 2.5'
elif i == 2:
    print ' We got 7'
elif i == 3:
    print 'Timed Out!'
else:
    print 'What happened?'

The output of the commandline is:

% rpm -q --queryformat '%{VERSION}\n' glibc
2.5
2.5


I've tried to use "\b", "^", "$" around the return stings and even expect_exact, but end up with it printing "We got 2". It's just mathcing the first character and not the entire string.

rpm -q --queryformat '%{VERSION}\n' glibc

---
2
We got 2

What am I doing wrong here? What do I need to tell the expect line  to grab the entire line back to check against?

Thanks
  Tom
