I am running a command to push files to Google App Engine, and it might ask me for my email and password:

$ appcfg.py update .
Email: [email protected]
Password:

I am running that in Ruby right now using this: %x[appcfg.py update .]. How can I fill out the email and password? I have seen something like this with capistrano:

%x[appcfg.py update .] do |channel, stream, data|
  channel.send_data "#{yaml['production']['email']}\n" if data =~ /^Email:/
end

...but haven't figured out how to set that up without it.

What's the best way to fill out things the command line asks for programmatically?
