Requirements
------------

This version of Pexpect requires Python 2.6 or 3.2 or above. For older
versions of Python, continue using Pexpect 2.4.

As of version 4.0, Pexpect can be used on Windows and POSIX systems. However,
:class:`pexpect.spawn` and :func:`pexpect.run` are only available on POSIX,
where the :mod:`pty` module is present in the standard library. See
:ref:`windows` for more information.
