>>> tn = telnetlib.Telnet('mudlib.anarres.org', 5000) >>> tn.readveryeager()

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

Hi there,

just to let you know (in case you dont :] ) the python command line has a useful help() function. Try this

import telnetlib help(telnetlib.Telnet.read_very_eager)

This works for most python modules, eg

import socket help(socket)

On another note, if your interested in doing some network programs with python, twisted as mentioned in a previous post is exceptionally good for it. Im a learner pythonist like yourself, and i started off writing a couple of network programs using the socket module, then I came across twisted, and it really is a good framework for network programming. I managed to create a simple chatserver using twisted quite easily. I strongly recommend you to visit http://docs.python.org/tut/tut.html and then www.twistedmatrix.com .

Good luck Nick.
