Hi all,
Been trying to understand why the following doesn't work:
HostFile = open("hosts.txt", 'r')
host = HostFile.readlines()
for item in host:
print "Connecting to device",item
tn = telnetlib.Telnet(item)
...
Do some other stuff here
...
I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "testtelnet.py", line 14, in ?
tn = telnetlib.Telnet(item)
File "c:\gideon\python24\lib\telnetlib.py", line 208, in __init__
self.open(host, port)
File "c:\gideon\python24\lib\telnetlib.py", line 225, in open
for res in socket.getaddrinfo(host, port, 0, socket.SOCK_STREAM):
socket.gaierror: (11001, 'getaddrinfo failed')
The hosts.txt file contains device names on separate lines. If I remove
the tn = .... Line the for loop iterates as I expect it to. Can't
understand why I can't pass "item" as a string to the telnetlib.Telnet
command.
Cheers
Gideon
