I want to use maxima from python using pexpect, whenever maxima starts it will print a bunch of stuff of this form:
$ maxima
Maxima 5.27.0 http://maxima.sourceforge.net

(%i1)
i would like to start up pexpect like so:
import pexpect
cmd = 'maxima'
child = pexpect.spawn(cmd)
child.expect (' match all that stuff up to and including (%i1)')
child.sendline ('integrate(sin(x),x)')
chil.expect( match (%i2) i think ; see below sample session )
print child.before
how do i match the starting banner up to the prompt (%i1)? and so on, also maxima increments the (%i1)'s by one as the session goes along,
(%i1) integrate(sin(x),x);
(%o1) - cos(x)
(%i2) integrate(log(x),x);
(%o2) x log(x) - x
(%i3)
so the next expect would be:
child.expect ('match (%i2)')
child.sendline ('integrate(log(x),x)')
child.expect( match (%i3) )
print child.before
how do i match the (incrementing) integers? Basically i need to match the (%i#)'s while printing the (%o#)'s.
This regex matches it: \\(%i\\d\\)
. If you needed to match the (%o#)
s just replace i
with o
in the needle.
