+# **wexpect examples**
+
+There are several example usage of wexpect. Choose one as template of your application.
+
+## hello_wexpect
+
+[hello_wexpect](./hello_wexpect.py) is the simplest example. It starts a windows command interpreter
+(aka. cmd) lists the current directory and exits.
+
+## python
+
+[python](./python.py) is a full custom example code. This example script runs [foo](./foo.py) python
+program, and communicates with it. For better understanding please run natively foo<i></i>.py first, which
+is a very basic stdio handler script.
+
+## cmd_wrapper
+
+[cmd_wrapper](./cmd_wrapper.py) is a simple wrapper around the cmd windows command interpreter. It
+waits for commands executes them in the spawned cmd, and prints the results.
