sample script pauses indefinitely after connectin

[ajwillo]

new to netdev. just wanted to test it with an existing script and it kept pausing after initial connecting and then waiting indefitnley, so I tried using the sample script to see if it was something I was doing. and I get the same result.

sample script:

#!/usr/bin/env python
from django_setup import setup
setup()
import re, argparse, time, ipaddress, asyncio, netdev, logging
from home.models import Credentials

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
netdev.logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

async def task(param):
    async with netdev.create(**param) as ios:
        # Testing sending simple command
        out = await ios.send_command("show ver")
        print(out)
        # Testing sending configuration set
        commands = ["line console 0", "exit"]
        out = await ios.send_config_set(commands)
        print(out)
        # Testing sending simple command with long output
        out = await ios.send_command("show run")
        print(out)
        # Testing interactive dialog
        out = await ios.send_command("conf", pattern=r'\[terminal\]\?', strip_command=False)
        out += await ios.send_command("term", strip_command=False)
        out += await ios.send_command("exit", strip_command=False, strip_prompt=False)
        print(out)

async def run():
    dev1 = { 
        'username': 'autoconfiguration',
        'password': 'xxxxxxxx',
        'device_type': 'cisco_ios',
        'host': '10.10.10.2',
    }
    devices = [dev1]
    tasks = [task(dev) for dev in devices]
    await asyncio.wait(tasks)

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(run())

output from the script is:

it stops here and never continues

Hello! Thank you for trying use my library and sorry for long time answer! I think that you have the same problem like in #10 case: do you have '>' or '#' in your banner?

[ajwillo]

Hi thanks for responding. Yes we have > in our banners. Is the fix to remove this from banners for now? Thanks

[selfuryon]

@ajwillo Yes, It would be the best solution right now! In case #10 I wrote why it's a problem and why I chose this tradeoff.
