yes it does have the space - sorry. does it make a difference if I use tn.read_until vs tn.read_all? will it close the connection or not accept a write command if I dont read_until? the fact that I get a traceback error when I read_until and I get ",,," when I use read_all - does this mean the connection has been closed? also when I try tn.open(host) it will give me the welcome screen with the words "session 1" included in the string. if I then immediately try tn.open(host) again it will give me the same welcome message with "session 1" could the connection be closing before I get a chance to write the user name? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
