Well, this is not specific to Telnet -- it's a Python thing.  Telnet
just sucks up whatever bytes you send it, so you just need to create a
Python string with that character.  You can do:
    telnetlib.Telnet.write( chr(27) )
or
    telnetlib.Telnet.write( "\x1b" )
(1B being the hexadecimal value of 27 in decimal)
