This is a Python mailing list so obviously the OP wants to use python to automate logging into his devices and dispatching some commands.

Google will give you quite a long list of references to it, but you could start here: http://pexpect.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ -Bill -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

If it's telnet, it's likely to be a pretty simple protocol. All you really need is the socket module, build it all yourself. Networking's easy enough to handle; it's the crypto on top of it (SSH, in your case) that's not worth doing manually. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

First, the low-level paramiko (http://www.lag.net/paramiko/) which handles all the basic ssh connection stuff. Next, fabric (http://docs.fabfile.org/en/1.8/), which layers a very easy to use application layer on top of paramiko. Fabric is most commonly used in conjunction with a near command-line driver tool called fab, but you can also work directly with the library layer (http://docs.fabfile.org/en/1.8/usage/library.html). Fabric rocks. Don't waste your time with anything else (but see the next paragraph). As far as I know, fabric only works with ssh. If you are forced to use telnet to talk to legacy equipment, that's another problem. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Hello, If you are looking for a way to connect to your netdevices and then execute some shell commands (with output) via ssh then google for paramiko module for python. It works on windows and linux. -- BR, Wojtek -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Straight-forward TCP sockets are usually easy enough to work. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
