The ctrl-] keystroke doesn't get sent down the wire, it's commands to the _local_ telnet. For instance, if your session has stalled, you can enter "^]close" to immediately disconnect. There won't be a direct way to drop to "command mode" inside telnetlib, but you can do similar actions with methods on the connection object (in that instance, close() will do the job).
