New submission from xy zzy <the.stuffd...@gmail.com>: Using python's telnetlib I can connect and communicate with a device.
While the telnet session is active I can disconnect the network cable of the device. At this point, I would expect read_until() with a timeout to throw a socket.error, EOFError or perhaps an IOError, but what I actually get is a null string. Because I'm reading in a loop, when the cable is reconnected the device will resume communicating, and the program will continue. My best guess ts that read_until() or perhaps everything except open() is insensitive to the loss of a connection. ---------- components: IO messages: 144972 nosy: xy.zzy priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: telnetlib insensitive to connection loss type: behavior _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13109> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
