[geeks] Using Python3 to Telnet to OpenVMS

[Sandwich Maker]

" From: Mark Benson <md.benson at gmail.com>
" 
" I am wondering if there are any seasoned Python3 and or OpenVMS hackers out
" there can help me.
" 
" I am trying to build an automation interface to use telnet to connect, run
" a command, return the terminal output, then close the connection.
" 
" Thus far I have:
" 
" #required libs
" import getpass
" import telnetlib
" 
" #connection spec
" HOST = "localhost"
" port = 3900
" 
" #make connection
" tn = telnetlib.Telnet(HOST,port)
" 
" #DZV11 requires a CR to start login process, so send one
" tn.write(b"\n")
" 
" #wait for the Username: prompt
" tn.read_until(b"Username: ")
" 
" #get a username from the user
" user = input("Enter your remote account: ")
" 
" []
" 
" 
" 
" Which should, by rights, do something. Thus far it doesn't work, it never
" even detects the 'Username: ' string. 
" []

are you sure that *one* \n is enough to wake telnet up?  i always give
it a few when i'm telnetting manually...
