AttributeError: 'Wtty' object has no attribute '_Wtty__consout' about wexpect

[raczben]

Hi,

I cannot reproduce the bug, with

• wexpect==v2.3.5
• python 3.7.3
• Win 10 Pro (1903) (18362.295)
• 8th Gen Core i7

D:\bt\wexpect-issue08>c:\Python373\python

>>> import wexpect

>>> exit()

D:\bt\wexpect-issue08>git status

I had seen the referenced exception earlier in the past, but I cannot remember the solution.

I have investigate a bit on this issue. The __consout variable is assigned in the switchTo() function.
If you get this error the error must be originated in this, switchTo() function.
The only case, which can result this issue is in the 2072 line
Please try to remove, this "exception handling", and raise the original exception after re AttachConsole(), and send me the exception.

This error happens, when the child has died / not started.
See #3 , which describes this issue.
