I'm a total newbe to scripting not to mention python. However I was
able to successfully create a telnet script to initiate login,
initiate tftp, exit, exit, confirm and close session. Frustrated,
possibly causing my own misery. I replace the sript the script with
the standard example.
import getpass
import sys
import telnetlib
HOST = "remote linux"
user = raw_input("Enter your remote account: ")
password = getpass.getpass()
tn = telnetlib.Telnet(HOST)
tn.read_until("login: ")
tn.write(user + "\n")
if password:
tn.read_until("Password: ")
tn.write(password + "\n")
tn.write("ls\n")
tn.write("exit\n")
print tn.read_all()
Regardless of the script content, running in windows I constently get
this SyntaxError:
C:\Python30>python c:\Python30\scripts\telnet.py
File "c:\Python30\scripts\telnet.py", line 20
print tn.read_all()
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
C:\Python30>
There's the clue:
In python 3.X, print is a function call
print(tn.read_all() )
with lots of formatting and line-ending features
In python 2.X, print is a statement:
print tn.read_all()
If you want one script to work for both Windows and Linux, then you
should probably
be running the same version of Python on each. At least both versions
should be on
the same side for the Python 2.x/3.x version change.

The same script works fine from linux.
I have also notices some other slight differences: this is my original
script that runs and completes but only if I comment out print. Also
tried to run debug without success in windows again this worked fine
in linux. To run this script in linux I also had to remove the b
syntax in the "b" in the perentesis
import telnetlib
# import pdb
HOST = "HP switch"
tn = telnetlib.Telnet(HOST)
tn.read_until(b'Password: ')
tn.write(b'password\n')
pdb.set_trace()
tn.read_until(b'HP switch# ')
tn.write(b' sh time\n')
tn.read_until(b'HP switch# ')
tn.write(b'exit\n')
tn.read_until(b'HP switch> ')
tn.write(b'exit\n')
tn.read_until(b'Do you want to log out [y/n]? ')
tn.write(b'y')
print tn.read_all()
Any guidance would be appreciated.
