SSH from pexpect (pxssh) fails when I try from a linux machine to a windows ssh client server

I'm trying to run a python script which ssh from a linux machine to a windows server and runs a batch file.

After some research, I realized that a pxssh class from pexpect is a ood module to use. When I try this module on linux to ssh to linux machine there is no problem. When I do it from a linux to windows it fails with the following error : pxssh failed on login.

pxssh failed on login.
could not set shell prompt (received: ": \r\n\x1b[2J\x1b[1HMicrosoft Windows [Version 10.0.14393]\r\n(c) 2016 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.\r\n\r\nC:\\Users\\myname>unset PROMPT_COMMAND\nPS1='[PEXPECT]\\$ '\nset prompt='[PEXPECT]\\$ '\n", expected: '\\[PEXPECT\\][\\$\\#] ').

I remember from before windows had different way of ending lines and such (carriage return etc) from linux. I would like to know if anyway knows a solution to this problem. Please note that I'm manually able to use a shell from linux machine and ssh to a windows machine, it only fails when I try to write a python script and use pxssh. Thank you for your help. Please note that my next step would be to run a batch file and close the connection. My simple script:

from pexpect import pxssh
import getpass
try:                                                            
    s = pxssh.pxssh()
    #hostname = raw_input('hostname: ')
    #username = raw_input('username: ')
    #password = getpass.getpass('password: ')
    s.login ('192.168.0.144', 'username', 'password',  auto_prompt_reset=True)
    s.sendline ('dir')
    s.prompt()             # match the prompt
    s.sendline ('exit')
    s.logout()
    print "I'm here"
except pxssh.ExceptionPxssh, e:
    print "pxssh failed on login."
    print str(e)

I use exit instead of logout because I think ssh client server on windows doesn't support logout

Edit: I have disabled the auto_prompt_reset now I got the following:

Solution

Setting the login parameters as follow solved my problem

s.login(server= hostname, username=username, password='', terminal_type='ansi',
            original_prompt=r"[#$]", login_timeout=10, port=22,
            auto_prompt_reset=False, ssh_key=None, quiet=True,
            sync_multiplier=1, check_local_ip=True)

However, the connection is still very slow and I cannot launch a program remotely. Also another hint: In order to use the sendline method add carriage to the beginning and end of your string
