telnetlib — cliente Telnet

Código-fonte: Lib/telnetlib.py

Descontinuado desde a versão 3.11, será removido na versão 3.13: The telnetlib module is deprecated (see PEP 594 for details and alternatives).

The telnetlib module provides a 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).

Disponibilidade: não Emscripten, não WASI.

Este módulo não funciona ou não está disponível em plataformas WebAssembly wasm32-emscripten e wasm32-wasi. Veja Plataformas WebAssembly para mais informações.

class telnetlib.Telnet(host=None, port=0[, timeout])

Telnet represents a connection to a Telnet server. The instance is initially not connected by default; the open() method must be used to establish a connection. Alternatively, the host name and optional port number can be passed to the constructor too, in which case the connection to the server will be established before the constructor returns. The optional timeout parameter specifies a timeout in seconds for blocking operations 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 read_*() methods. Note that some of them raise EOFError when the end of the connection is read, because they can return an empty string for other reasons. See the individual descriptions below.

Um objeto Telnet é um gerenciador de contexto e pode ser usado em uma instrução with. Quando o bloco with termina, o método close() é chamado:

>>> from telnetlib import Telnet
>>> with Telnet('localhost', 23) as tn:
...     tn.interact()
...

Alterado na versão 3.6: Adicionado suporte a gerenciador de contexto

RFC 854 - Especificação do Protocolo Telnet

Definition of the Telnet protocol.

Objetos Telnet

Telnet instances have the following methods:

Telnet.read_until(expected, timeout=None)

Read until a given byte string, expected, is encountered or until timeout seconds have passed.

When no match is found, return whatever is available instead, possibly empty bytes. Raise EOFError if the connection is closed and no cooked data is available.

Telnet.read_all()

Read all data until EOF as bytes; block until connection closed.

Telnet.read_some()

Read at least one byte of cooked data unless EOF is hit. Return b'' if EOF is hit. Block if no data is immediately available.

Telnet.read_very_eager()

Read everything that can be without blocking in I/O (eager).

Raise EOFError if connection closed and no cooked data available. Return b'' if no cooked data available otherwise. Do not block unless in the midst of an IAC sequence.

Telnet.read_eager()

Read readily available data.

Raise EOFError if connection closed and no cooked data available. Return b'' if no cooked data available otherwise. Do not block unless in the midst of an IAC sequence.

Telnet.read_lazy()

Process and return data already in the queues (lazy).

Raise 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.

Telnet.read_very_lazy()

Return any data available in the cooked queue (very lazy).

Raise EOFError if connection closed and no data available. Return b'' if no cooked data available otherwise. This method never blocks.

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.

Telnet.open(host, port=0[, timeout])

Connect to a host. The optional second argument is the port number, which defaults to the standard Telnet port (23). The optional timeout parameter specifies a timeout in seconds for blocking operations like the connection attempt (if not specified, the global default timeout setting will be used).

Do not try to reopen an already connected instance.

Raises an auditing event telnetlib.Telnet.open with arguments self, host, port.

Telnet.msg(msg, *args)

Print a debug message when the debug level is > 0. If extra arguments are present, they are substituted in the message using the standard string formatting operator.

Telnet.set_debuglevel(debuglevel)

Set the debug level. The higher the value of debuglevel, the more debug output you get (on sys.stdout).

Telnet.close()

Fecha a conexão.

Telnet.get_socket()

Return the socket object used internally.

Telnet.fileno()

Return the file descriptor of the socket object used internally.

Telnet.write(buffer)

Write a byte string to the socket, doubling any IAC characters. This can block if the connection is blocked. May raise OSError if the connection is closed.

Raises an auditing event telnetlib.Telnet.write with arguments self, buffer.

Alterado na versão 3.3: This method used to raise socket.error, which is now an alias of OSError.

Telnet.interact()

Interaction function, emulates a very dumb Telnet client.

Telnet.mt_interact()

Multithreaded version of interact().

Telnet.expect(list, timeout=None)

Read until one from a list of a regular expressions matches.

The first argument is a list of regular expressions, either compiled (regex objects) or uncompiled (byte strings). The optional second argument is a timeout, in seconds; the default is to block indefinitely.

Return a tuple of three items: the index in the list of the first regular expression that matches; the match object returned; and the bytes read up till and including the match.

If end of file is found and no bytes were read, raise 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).

If a regular expression ends with a greedy match (such as .*) or if more than one expression can match the same input, the results are non-deterministic, and may depend on the I/O timing.

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.

Telnet Example

A simple example illustrating typical use:

import getpass
import telnetlib

HOST = "localhost"
user = input("Enter your remote account: ")
password = getpass.getpass()

tn = telnetlib.Telnet(HOST)

tn.read_until(b"login: ")
tn.write(user.encode('ascii') + b"\n")
if password:
    tn.read_until(b"Password: ")
    tn.write(password.encode('ascii') + b"\n")

tn.write(b"ls\n")
tn.write(b"exit\n")

print(tn.read_all().decode('ascii'))
