Python Error Handling & Connection Errors


I'm working on a Telnet client. I started coding on my notebook(Windows) and at the finish I uploaded it on my server(Debian). Both systems works with Python 3. At my notebook the script works well, but on Debian, it does make errors.

The Code:

import telnetlib
import sys
try:
    HOST = sys.argv[1]
    user = sys.argv[3]
    password = sys.argv[4]
    cmd= sys.argv[5]
    port=int(sys.argv[2])

    tn = telnetlib.Telnet(HOST, port)

    tn.read_until(b"username: ")
    tn.write(user.encode('ascii') + b"\n")
    if password:
        tn.read_until(b"password: ")
        tn.write(password.encode('ascii') + b"\n")

    tn.write(cmd.encode('ascii') + b"\n")
except ConnectionRefusedError:
    print('ERROR')
else:
    print('OK')

Server(CraftBukkit server with RemoteToolKit):

EDIT: The error handling works now! THX @ Wojciech Walczak The client doesn't report errors, but the server reports errors. If I run the same code on Windows, it doesn't make errors.


Solution

  • The error is in the script. The telnet command on Linux works well.
