<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 152043 by <a href="/recipes/users/131643/">Tim Keating</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/network/">network</a>). Revision 2. </p> <p>This is an EXTREMELY simple module for scripting a telnet session. It uses abbreviated versions of the commands exported by telnetlib followed by any necessary arguments.</p> <p>An example of use would be:</p> <p>import telnetscript</p> <p>script = """ru Login: w %(user)s ru Password: w %(pwd)s w cd ~/interestingDir w ls -l ra w exit c """</p> <p>user = 'foo' pwd = 'bar' conn = telnetscript.telnetscript( 'myserver', vars() ) lines = conn.RunScript( script.split( '\n' ))</p> <p>This assigns lines the value of the output of "ls" in "~/interestingDir" for user foo on myserver.</p>

<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 111971 by <a href="/recipes/users/131643/">Tim Keating</a> . </p> <p>It is common for Python modules to export their version number in list or tuple form. While it is simple to convert a dot-delimited string to a tuple, it's subtle and tricky to go the other way, particularly when you don't know how many "digits" there are. This recipe includes a pair of functions that convert between forms. Also handy for IP addresses!</p>

<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 68422 by <a href="/recipes/users/131643/">Tim Keating</a> . </p> <p>A simple function to permit you to generate random numbers by emulating a dice roll. The number of dice and the number of sides to each die are the parameters of the function. In order to (for example) roll 4d6, you would call dice( 4, 6 ).</p>
