Yes, I have been pursuing this as a solution.  However, what I really want
is to script telnet in pure python.  So the resulting script can either be
run imbedded in java with Jython, or directly in Python.  The underlying
Telnet object could be a java object in Jython, but the method signature
would have to match the pure Python version of Telnet.

I looked at changing the method signatures on these Java Telnet packages to
match the Python telnetlib package.  But some of the python Telnet methods
return tuples.  Is there a way to have a java method return a value that
Jython will treat as a tuple?

The other option might be to rewrite the telnetlib package replace where
select is used.

Does anyone know if someone has already done this?

Thanks,
    Ryan
