Hello,

I downloaded and installed the pexpect module and wrote a python
script.=A0 All is well and good, but the script proved to be pretty
useful and now I was asked to run it as a scheduled task up on a
server to run periodically.=A0 I was intending on simply packaging it up
with Py2Exe and moving it to the server that way.

However, when I went to test it, I received this error....

Traceback (most recent call last):
=A0 File "script.py", line 17, in <module>
=A0=A0=A0 import pexpect
=A0 File "lib\site-packages\pexpect.py" , line 85, in <module>
=A0=A0=A0 support it. Pexpect is intended for UNIX-like operating systems."=
"")
ImportError: No module named resource

A critical module was not found. Probably this operating system does not
support it. Pexpect is intended for UNIX-like operating systems.

So now I realize that when I was testing on my system, I run cygwin
and so everything worked fine....

Is there a .dll from the cygwin directory on my machine that I can
copy with it or anything so that it works without having to install
cygwin on the server that will be hosting this scheduled task?

Kevin
