    This is the code I am trying to run:

    from pexpect import pxssh
    s = pxssh.pxssh()
    if not s.login ('myip', 'myusername', 'mypassword'):
        print ("SSH session failed on login.")
        print (str(s))
    else:
        print ("SSH session login successful")
        s.sendline ('ls -l')
        s.prompt()         # match the prompt
        print (s.before)     # print everything before the prompt.
        s.logout()
    

    The error which I am getting on running this is :

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "test_pexpect.py", line 1, in <module>
        from pexpect import pxssh
      File "C:\Python35\lib\site-packages\pexpect\pxssh.py", line 23, in <module>
        from pexpect import ExceptionPexpect, TIMEOUT, EOF, spawn
    ImportError: cannot import name 'spawn'
    

    Can anyone help me out? I am using python3.5 on windows
