Python is obviously better than expect for many reasons such as efficieny, opsys availabiliy, functions etc), but can anybody tell me how it is better structurally.

CRASHME(1) General Commands Manual CRASHME(1)NAME
crashme - test operating environment software robustness
SYNOPSIS
crashme [NBYTES] [SRAND] [NTRYS] [NSUB] [VERBOSE]
DESCRIPTION
crashme is a very simple program that tests the operating environment's robustness by invoking random data as if it were a procedure. The
standard signals are caught and handled with a setjmp back to a loop which will try again to produce a fault by executing random data. Some
people call this stress testing.
COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
[NBYTES]
The [NBYTES] should be an integer, specifying the size of the random data string in bytes. If given negative then the bytes are
printed instead of being executed. If given with an explicit plus sign then the storage for the bytes is freshly malloc'ed each
time. This can have an effect on machines with seperate I and D cache mechanisms. The argument can also have a dot in it, X.Y, in
which case Y is a increment for a pointer into the random data. The buffer is recalculated only when the pointer gets near the end
of the data.
[SRAND] The [SRAND] is an input seed to the random number generator, passed to srand.
[NTRIES]
The [NTRIES] is how many times to loop before exiting normally from the program.
[NSUB] The [NSUB] is optional, the number of vfork subprocesses running all at once. If negative run one after another. If given as a
time hrs:mns:scs (hours, minutes, seconds) then one subprocess will be run to completion, followed by another, until the time limit
has been reached. If this argument is given as the empty string or . then it is ignored.
When in sequential-subprocess mode there is a 30 second time limit on each subprocess. This is to allow the instruction-set-space
random walk to continue when a process bashes itself into an infinite loop. For example, the ntrys can be bashed to a very large
number with nbytes bashed to zero. (10 second limit on Windows NT).
The SRAND argument is incremented by one for each subprocess.
[VERBOSE]
The [VERBOSE] arg is optional. 0 is the least verbose, 5 the most.
EXAMPLE
This is a suggested test, to run it for a least an hour.
crashme +2000 666 100 1:00:00
FILES
crashme.c
DIAGNOSTICS
When a signal is caught the number and nature of the signal is indicated. Setting the environment variable CRASHLOG will cause each sub-
process to record the arguments it was given.
BUGS
Not all signals are caught, and the state of the user program/process enviroment can be sufficiently damaged such that the program termi-
nates before going through all [NTRIES] operations.
If the architecture uses some kind of procedure descriptor but no special code has been not been added to castaway() in crashme.c then the
stress test will not be as potent as it would otherwise be.
Beware: This program can crash your computer if the operating system or hardware of same is buggy. User data may be lost.
