I can't seem to change the timeout value on pexpect

[chad]

I tried to change the timeout value from 30 to 90 for pexpect in the
following script...

#!/usr/bin/python

import telnetlib
import time
import pexpect

def get_name():
    user = raw_input("\nUsername: ")
    password = raw_input("Password: ")
    idle(user, password)


def idle(user, password):
    child = pexpect.spawn('telnet game.mortalrealms.com 4321')
    child.expect("Who art thou:", timeout=90)
    child.sendline(user)
    print "\nEntered username.."
    child.expect("Password:",timeout=90)
    child.sendline(password)
    print "Entered pass.."
    child.expect('Press return to continue:', timeout=90)
    child.sendline('\n')

    if child == 2:
        print "Connection timeout"
    elif child == 3:
        print "Another timeout"


    #while 1:
    child.expect('Druidess Supi burps loudly.')
    child.sendline('say oh my aching back')
    #time.sleep(15)
    #time.sleep(5)
    #now.write("\n")

    #while 1:
    #    now.write("wc")
    #    time.sleep(15)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    get_name()


However, when I run it, the timeout still shows 30 seconds...

Entered username..
Entered pass..
