Python Programming Language :: using telnetlib


	using telnetlib Hi All, I am trying to use the telnetlib module. Manually when I do telnet 172.31.128.244 I get: Login: (I type root) Password: ( I type Password) And it enters to the Telnet Session: [root]# Now, I am trying to use telnetlib module >>> import telnetlib >>> tn = telnetlib.Telnet("172.31.128.244") >>> tn.read_until("Login: ") '\r\nLogin: ' >>> tn.write("root\n:") >>>tn.read_until("Password: ") Cursor stays over here forever!. Delays are not working. I tried all the codes mentioned n c.l.p, but i have not yet been able to get telnetlib working. Any suggestions as how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue?

Also, what's the ":" at the end for?

Thanks a lot, Bjrn. That did help and solved my problem. ":" after \n was just a typo. -- Senthil
