I have been trying to use pexpect and I am failing with pexpect.TIMEOUT for all my attempts. In order to troubleshoot, I decided to go with simplest possible one.
Here is my ssh to localhost: [21:29:14 senthil]$ssh localhost -l senthil sent...@localhost's password: sent...@ubuntu:~$ And here is my pexpect script: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/121788/ And the output I get is: True None None Traceback (most recent call last): File "4.py", line 17, in <module> print child.read() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pexpect.py", line 858, in read self.expect (self.delimiter) # delimiter default is EOF File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pexpect.py", line 1311, in expect return self.expect_list(compiled_pattern_list, timeout, searchwindowsize) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pexpect.py", line 1325, in expect_list return self.expect_loop(searcher_re(pattern_list), timeout, searchwindowsize) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pexpect.py", line 1409, in expect_loop raise TIMEOUT (str(e) + '\n' + str(self)) pexpect.TIMEOUT: Timeout exceeded in read_nonblocking(). Complete Traceback is here: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/121790/ Which shows that command is executed. Can someone help me pointing out what I am doing wrong here? Why is not working for such a simple thing as ssh to my localhost.? Thanks, Senthil _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
