[Tutor] What's wrong with this?

[Ali Polatel]

  Dear Friends and Tutors,
  Thanx for all your previous answers I have a new problem
  I am writing a python script which will connect to Internet Chess Club via telnet(the IP of the server is '65.245.208.34' and the port I want is 5056)
  Connecting works fine :
  "import telnetlib
   telnetlib.Telnet(host='65.245.208.34',port='5056')"
Now the server asks for username and password...
I want the programme to login as guest so :
  "a=telnetlib.Telnet(host='65.245.208.34',port='5056')
   a.read_until('login:')
   a.write('guest \n')"
  Now programme is connected to the server.Now I want to type commands and such things...Before I write a command I should do
 "a.read_until('aics%')"
 to get the command line.
But the problem starts here.Some announces and chats come from the server and the server seems like that
 "xxx shouts: hi all
aics%
bbb shouts:hi again
aics%_"
The real command line is the second "aics%" but the programme types "a.read_until('aics%') only once so that when I type in a command programme doesn't send the command to the server.
So I should make the programme type "a.read_until('aics%')" every 5 seconds or so...
Can anyone show me how and where to do this change?
Below is the script :
"def icc():
        a=telnetlib.Telnet(host='65.245.208.34',port='5056')
        print str(a.read_until('login:'))
        a.write('guest')
        a.write('\n')
        a.read_until('aics%')
        a.write('-ch 1\n')
        a.read_until('aics%')
        a.write('-ch 165\n')
        a.read_until('aics%')
        a.write('set shout 0\n')
        a.read_until('aics%')
        a.write('set sshout 0\n')
        a.read_until('aics%')
        print str(a.read_until('aics%'))   
        for x in range(500000):
            d=raw_input(Command :>')
            a.write(str(d))
            a.write('\n')
            print str(a.read_until('aics%'))
