   By the way, that pexpect-based bpython-curtsies test I wrote never really achieved what it was meant to.

   TEST = 'bpython-curtsies'
   #TEST = 'bpython'
   
   print('testing with ' + TEST)
   
   import pexpect
   child = pexpect.spawn(TEST, timeout=3)
   child.sendline('abcdef = 123')
   child.expect('abcdef = 123')
   child.sendline('dir()')
   child.expect('abcdef')

   For whatever reason, even with a correctly-working version of bpython-curtsies, the above still does not work. Perhaps I'm just using pexpect incorrectly. Though, strangely, it works properly with python and bpython.

   Huh! Perhaps it has to do with the terminal modes bpython-curtsies uses? But it's hard to imagine them being that different than normal bpython.

   We can achieve most of this with pyte terminal emulator tests - it's just input matching we can't.
