Sending Through ^] Through telnetlib

[John Abel]

I have written a script that makes a telnet connection, runs various
commands, and returns the output. That was the easy bit :) However, to
close the session, I need to send ^] followed by quit. I've tried
sending chr(29), which is the ascii equivalent, but that doesn't seem to
work. Is there something I'm missing?

Any pointers would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Are you sure that just calling close() isn't what you want?
It would be unusual to send ^]quit on the wire.

Try sending: '\x1d'
