The traceback tells you that you are expected to provide a "bytes"
string rather than a unicode (normal) string. I would guess that's
because pexpect is returning a byte string in self.child.before. You
should:
a) check the pexpect documentation to see if that's correct
b) supply self.child.before.split() with a byte string
c) seriously consider whether you are making life hard for yourself
You appear to regard Python as a language you can use to run shell
commands and parse their output. Have you looked to see if there are
existing Python modules that will Just Do The Work for you and avoid all
this faffing about?
