SyntaxError: invalid syntax (windows)

[Python Newsgroup]

Thats newbe experience for ya ;-) thanks. Its seems to work and leads to 
another question. whether running the script or stepping thru the process at 
the command line I get what looks like hex

C:\Python30>python \Python30\scripts\telnet-tftp1.py
b'\x1b[24;1H\x1b[24;31H\x1b[24;1H\x1b[?25h\x1b[24;31H\x1b[24;31Hy\x1b[24;31H\x1b
[?25h\x1b[24;32H\x1b[24;0H\x1bE\x1b[24;1H\x1b[24;32H\x1b[24;1H\x1b[2K\x1b[24;1H\
x1b[?25h\x1b[24;1H\x1b[1;24r\x1b[24;1H\x1b[2J\x1b[?7l\x1b[1;24r\x1b[?6l\x1b[24;1
H\x1b[?25h\x1b[24;1H\x1b[?6l\x1b[1;0r\x1b[?7l\x1b[2J\x1b[24;1H\x1b[1;1H\x1b[2K\x
1b[24;1H\n\r'

C:\Python30>

I can verify the script ran thru and executed the telnet commands. is there 
a switch to convert to binary/ASCI or reduce the logging of the telnet 
session ???

Thanks again
Chris
