telnetlib in python-3.0

[rowland]

Is anyone using telnetlib in python-3.0? If so are you having any
success? Using the example at the bottom of the telnetlib doc page I
cannot seem to get any joy at all. I can make a connection, but write
(command) seems to do nothing.

Thanks,
Rowland

3.0 had some bugs in telnet negotiation (sub channel stuff). I don't
know that it had other issues. It didn't have many unit tests before
the current 2.7/3.1 trunks so I can't say much more, definitively.
The non-negotiation tests did pass on 3.1 trunk, IIRC.

If you can reproduce the behavior in a testable snippet please submit
a bug and assign it to me on bugs.python.org (jackdied on the bug
tracker).
