Debug

Known issues

gotchaNot all subprocesses behave the same in a pseudo terminal.

fix

Test subprocess compatibility before production use.

affects: 0.7.0

deprecatedOlder methods of invoking processes may not fully utilize the pty.

fix

Update your method calls to the new standardized approach.

affects: < 0.6.0

breakingThe `PTYProcess` class has been moved or removed from the top-level `ptyprocess` package, resulting in an ImportError.

fix

Update your import statement from `from ptyprocess import PTYProcess` to `from ptyprocess.ptyprocess import PTYProcess`, or consult the library's documentation for the correct import path for your version.

affects: > 0.5.0

breakingThe main class 'PTYProcess' has been renamed to 'PtyProcess'. Attempting to import 'PTYProcess' will result in an ImportError.

fix

Update your code to import 'PtyProcess' instead of 'PTYProcess'.

affects: >= 0.7.0
