Please help me with telnetlib.

Very useful article! I am a big fan of hello world type of code and this was perfect for me to get started. Specifically, I am trying to telnet from an Amazon Lambda function. With a slight modification of your code I was able to get it working.

Thank you very much!

If someone needs, this is the code changed. It has been running in python3.4:

Hello Silver Moon.

I’m using your code to make communication with the controller of my Mitsubishi robot, sending commands to him and geting the readout. Everything works fine. I’ve just changed to defined commands, not keyboard entry.

You saved my life.

Thank you!

Best Regards,
Gabriel.

Hello Silver Moon,
Tank you very much for the interesting program.
Unfortunately is does not work in Python3:
read_sockets, write_sockets, error_sockets = select.select(socket_list , [], [])
io.UnsupportedOperation: fileno

Is there a solution for it?

Best regards, Rudolf

I got a problem.

Traceback (most recent call last):

File “telnet.py”, line 34, in

read_sockets,write_sockets,error_sockets = select.select(socket_list,[],[])

select.error: (10038, ‘An operation was attempted on something that is not a soc

ket’)

Anybody knows about it?
I know the sys.stdin is not a socket. So how do you run it?

Cool. I wrote an equivalent in PHP.
