[issue14556] telnetlib Telnet.expect fails with timeout=0

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

Ah, so there are actually two timeouts of interest.  One is "time out if there is no more data for X seconds", and the other is "time out if there is no match for X seconds".  It used to do the former, now it does the latter.

I think you get the former by calling socket.settimeout() and then using a blocking call for the expect.
