.. index:: single: protocol; Telnet
The :mod:`telnetlib` module provides a :class:`Telnet` class that implements the
Telnet protocol. See :rfc:`854` for details about the protocol. In addition, it
provides symbolic constants for the protocol characters (see below), and for the
telnet options. The symbolic names of the telnet options follow the definitions
in ``arpa/telnet.h``, with the leading ``TELOPT_`` removed. For symbolic names
of options which are traditionally not included in ``arpa/telnet.h``, see the
module source itself.
The symbolic constants for the telnet commands are: IAC, DONT, DO, WONT, WILL,
SE (Subnegotiation End), NOP (No Operation), DM (Data Mark), BRK (Break), IP
(Interrupt process), AO (Abort output), AYT (Are You There), EC (Erase
Character), EL (Erase Line), GA (Go Ahead), SB (Subnegotiation Begin).

like the connection attempt (if not specified, the global default timeout
setting will be used).

Do not reopen an already connected instance.
This class has many :meth:`read_\*` methods. Note that some of them raise
:exc:`EOFError` when the end of the connection is read, because they can return
an empty string for other reasons. See the individual descriptions below.

2008-10-15 19:28:54 -03:00
Raise :exc:`EOFError` if connection closed and no data available. Return
``b''`` if no cooked data available otherwise. Do not block unless in the
midst of an IAC sequence.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: Telnet.read_very_lazy()
Return any data available in the cooked queue (very lazy).
2008-10-15 19:28:54 -03:00
Raise :exc:`EOFError` if connection closed and no data available. Return
``b''`` if no cooked data available otherwise. This method never blocks.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: Telnet.read_sb_data()
Return the data collected between a SB/SE pair (suboption begin/end). The
callback should access these data when it was invoked with a ``SE`` command.
This method never blocks.

.. method:: Telnet.expect(list, timeout=None)
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Read until one from a list of a regular expressions matches.
The first argument is a list of regular expressions, either compiled
2008-10-15 19:28:54 -03:00
(:class:`re.RegexObject` instances) or uncompiled (byte strings). The
optional second argument is a timeout, in seconds; the default is to block
indefinitely.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Return a tuple of three items: the index in the list of the first regular
2008-10-15 19:28:54 -03:00
expression that matches; the match object returned; and the bytes read up
till and including the match.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
2008-10-15 19:28:54 -03:00
If end of file is found and no bytes were read, raise :exc:`EOFError`.
Otherwise, when nothing matches, return ``(-1, None, data)`` where *data* is
the bytes received so far (may be empty bytes if a timeout happened).
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
If a regular expression ends with a greedy match (such as ``.*``) or if more
2008-10-15 19:28:54 -03:00
than one expression can match the same input, the results are
indeterministic, and may depend on the I/O timing.

.. method:: Telnet.set_option_negotiation_callback(callback)
Each time a telnet option is read on the input flow, this *callback* (if set) is
called with the following parameters : callback(telnet socket, command
(DO/DONT/WILL/WONT), option). No other action is done afterwards by telnetlib.
