Python Forum

I am trying to login to my network power control switch and run commands in it using python telnetlib script, after running the script it displays "enter the username" in the output terminal for which i enter the switch username and the script hangs at that point without asking for password and proceeding further. kindly help me in proceeding further ..pasted the script below.

import getpass
import sys
import telnetlib
HOST = "192.168.8.8"
PORT=22 
TIMEOUT=10
user = input("Enter your username : ")
password = getpass.getpass()
tn = telnetlib.Telnet(HOST)
tn.read_until(b"User Name : ")
tn.write(user.encode('ascii') + b"\n")
if password:
    tn.read_until(b"Password  : ")
    tn.write(password.encode('ascii') + b"\n")
tn.write("tcpip\n")
tn.write("exit\n")
print(tn.read_all())

manually i am able to login into the device, pasted the login screen of the device below for more clarity
