Save outputs to Desktop - cisicomania - Aug-31-2018

Hello,

I wrote my first script.
It is logging to 2 Router's console\CLI and executing few commands.
Afterwards in Router's console I have outputs which shows me for example IP Addresing
Output:
R1#sho ip int bri
Interface                  IP-Address      OK? Method Status                Protocol

Ethernet0/2                unassigned      YES unset  administratively down down

R1#show interface description

Lo1                            up             up       
R1#
My question is how to save those outputs to my Desktop in text document format.


import getpass
import sys
import telnetlib

print ("Script starts")

HOST = "71.61.14.36"

tn = telnetlib.Telnet(HOST, "33153",)
print ("Telnetting to device")

tn2 = telnetlib.Telnet(HOST, "33154",)
print ("Telnetting to device")


print ("Executing commands")
tn.write("\n\n\n\n")
tn.write("\n\n\n\n")
tn.write("enable\n")
tn.write("show ip interface brief\n")
tn.write("show interfaces description\n")


print ("Executing commands")
tn2.write("\n\n\n\n")
tn2.write("\n\n\n\n")
tn2.write("enable\n")
tn2.write("show ip interface brief\n")
tn2.write("show interfaces description\n")
tn2.close()

I don't have the answer, but there is an impressive wrapper of telnetlib with logging capabilities in the robotframework source code, you could perhaps find ideas here.
