Issuing commands using "exec_command()" of paramiko AND also sending commands together

[KR]

Hi Sreenathan Nair:
import os, sys, 
import connectlibs as ssh
s = ssh.connect("xxx.xx.xx.xxx", "Admin", "Admin")
channel = s.invoke_shell()
channel.send("net use F: \\\\xyz.xy.xc.xa\\dir\n")
>>>32
channel.send("net use\n")
>>>7
channel.recv(500)
'Last login: Tue Jun  2 23:52:29 2015 from xxx.xx.xx.xx\r\r\n\x1b]0;~\x07\r\r\n\x1b[32mAdmin at WIN \x1b[33m~\x1b[0m\r\r\n$ net use F: \\\\xyz.xy.xc.xa\\dir\r\nSystem error 67 has occurred.\r\r\n\r\r\nThe network name cannot be found.\r\r\n\r\r\n\x1b]0;~\x07\r\r\n\x1b[32mAdmin at WIN \x1b[33m~\x1b[0m\r\r\n$ net use'
>>> 

Above is the what I have for code which is what I am encountering on my setup.

A. I need to be able to parse the o/p of 2 commands 1. "net use F: \\\\xyz.xy.xc.xa\\dir" and 2. "net use". 

B. When I use chan.recv(x) -> with certain 'x' bytes. What if I dont know what kind of a response I am expecting - I mean its not a usual response - if I give "x" bytes whereas in reality "x" could be 10000 bytes more than the ACTUAL number of bytes in which case Python hangs.

What do people use in such cases.

If you'd like to process the output of the command execution, then you would store the result of exec_command() into three variables (it return a 3-tuple of Channel objects).
