block the main thread, the GUI will not update.

Suggestions:

- If pexpect needs to work in one thread, have a dedicated pexpect thread
that you communicate with using signals/slots.
- From reading the pexpect docs, there is a way to make expect() return an
asyncio coroutine which would be one way to avoid separate threads
entirely... See https://github.com/harvimt/quamash
