help wanted issue.

i use paramiko to connect network device and send commands. for performance and stability reasons, i'm trying to use pssh instead of paramiko but face some trouble in output parsing. the exact same display as the device terminal will help me locate the problem. (for network device, command prompt contains resource info and command mode)

In [96]: ssh = paramiko.SSHClient()

In [97]: ssh.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy())

In [98]: ssh.connect(hostname=ip, port=port, username=user, password=password)

In [99]: shell = ssh.invoke_shell()

In [100]: shell.send("ls -al\n")
Out[100]: 7

In [101]: shell.recv(65535)
