Sorry, I am not able to understand "tn.read_very_eager()", could you please explain it?

Hi W X Liu, You may want to look at telnetlib: http://www.python.org/doc/lib/module-telnetlib.html For example: ### >>> tn = telnetlib.Telnet('mudlib.anarres.org', 5000) >>> tn.readveryeager() 'Welcome to Anarres II\r\n\r\nRULES:\r\n1) Code may be distributed only with permission from Arren.\r\n2) Do not harass or abuse people.\r\n3) You may encounter material which you consider offensive.\r\n\r\nThe official address of this MUD is mudlib.anarres.org port 5000.\r\nPlease make SURE that you are using that address and not an alias.\r\n\r\nNew users or guests may log in with any name.\r\n\r\nWARNING === WARNING === WARNING [... text cut] ### So you should be able to communicate with your MUD with telnetlib. Good luck to you!
