I finally got it working:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import telnetlib
host = '10.128.56.202'
port = 6000
t = telnetlib.Telnet(host, port)
t.read_very_eager() #flush
t.write('\n')
prompt = t.read_very_eager()
t.write('*IDN?\n')
print t.read_until('\n',5)

thanks to all here for the help offered

kind regards,
