Here is a snippet of code that may work for you:
#-----------------------------------
import telnetlib
HOST = "myServer"
Username = "bob"
Password = "fido"
LoginList = ['=login:', '%s=password:' % (Username), '%s=$' %
(Password)] ## Like an Expect script
Terminator = "$"
print "CONNECTING:"
Telnet = telnetlib.Telnet(HOST)
i = 0
for LoginPair in LoginList:
LoginPair = LoginPair.split("=")
if i > 0:
Telnet.write(LoginPair[0] + "\n")
x = Telnet.read_until(LoginPair[1])
print x
i = i + 1
print "CONNECTED:"
CommandLine = "ls -l\n"
Telnet.write(CommandLine)
Blob = Telnet.read_until(Terminator)
print Blob
