[issue28661] Fix code example in Python 3.5 telnetlib documentation

Ivan Tomilov added the comment:

I see, thanks for the clarification.
But in my OS X the things are different and I spent about 1 hour trying
this code to take off.
Maybe it's better to change this code to avoid spending time for such
subtle bugs? Say:
tn.read_until(b"Password:")
tn.read_eager()

Or just add a comment. It's confusing when one takes code from the official
website and it doesn't work.

What do you think?

[issue28661] Fix code example in Python 3.5 telnetlib documentation

[Ivan Tomilov]

New submission from Ivan Tomilov:

The code sample on page https://docs.python.org/3/library/telnetlib.html is a 
little confusing. The extra space in string "Password: " before the second 
quote basically hangs the example program when you try to run it.

Please, check my answer on Stack Overflow for more details:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28345839/python3-telnet-code-stays-quiet-after-launching-does-not-initiate-the-command-t/40535049#40535049

I'm sorry if I get something wrong.

Thanks,
Ivan.
