 Could you expand on this a little? We've been using pexpect (both fdpexpect and
pxssh) very successfully for our testing project. Admittedly, we only use
Python3 so maybe that's where the problem is.

 Clearly, for this simple use case it should be acceptable to use tk-expect
(even though I expect hardly anyone under the age of 40 to still know about it
:-). But if we're going to reuse the same approach for other tests as well, we
might benefit from a more powerful and python-integrated package.
