As someone else has pointed out, nntplib would be the obvious choice for this. But even if you don't want to use that, you absolutely should not be using telnetlib. NNTP is not Telnet and there is no connection between the two protocols. (Don't get misled by the common practice of using the command-line telnet client as a convenient way for connecting to line-based TCP services for testing purposes.) -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
