pexpect doesnt seem able to control bochs like it does gdb???

[fpga]

I've been controlling qemu with gdb via pexpect.
I'm now trying to control bochs debugger with pexpect
[code]
#!/usr/bin/python
import pexpect, subprocess, time
child = pexpect.spawn('terminator -x bochs\n') 
child.expect_exact   ('Please choose one: [6] ')
child.send           ('6\n')
[/code]

Unfortunately bochs debugger ignores the 6 that is sent.
I just wonder if anyone knows how to get around such "ignorance".
If it's any help...  
I note that if I If I press 6 then this works 
i.e. it's as if I had inserted 'child.interact()' before sending the 6??? 
Any advice much appreciated

That really is a question for the Python community. Have you tried there?

Hi,

I could be very wrong - but it might be worth seeing if changing the code

> child.send           ('6\n')

to

child.sendline('6')

helps..
