Verdict

Finished, not abandoned

pexpect looks complete rather than neglected — no commits for 17 months. 45 of 152 open issues have had no reply. A library that has stopped changing is not the same as one that has been dropped.

health 42/100

Why this verdict?

finished — No commits for over 365 days, and almost nobody filing new issues — or the README says the project is done.
