Interesting, thanks. And better yet, it's not just a wrapper
around Expect: "Pexpect is in the spirit of Don Libes' Expect,
but Pexpect is pure Python." So you don't even have to install
anything Tcl. :-)

On the downside, Windows support seems to be quite limited at
this point. However, if that's not of any concern to Richard,
Pexpect is probably his best option. This example right here
looks like a good starting point:

I, unfortunately, have to deal with Windows from time to time,
so it's still Tcl for me...
