I am trying to port some simple scripts that I have in tcl to python.
Using tcl/expect, we can see every executed command on the standard output. For example,
spawn ssh admin@$IP
send "ls\r"
would yield by default an output like this:
ssh admin@10.10.10.10
ls
....
In python, only way I saw was to decode the child.before or after outputs. Is there a way python can output everything it runs to the console or a file ?
This is what I am doing now:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import pexpect
shellprompt = "] # "
child = pexpect.spawn('ssh admin@XYZ')
child.sendline('ls')
child.expect(shellprompt)
ls_out = child.before.decode()
print(ls_out)
This is run on a Linux machine, and doing ssh to a Linux machine
