I have a script that looks like:

import redexpect
expect = redexpect.RedExpect()
expect.connect( ... )
output = expect.command( 'mount', remove_newline = True )
print( output )
print( "---" )
output = expect.command( 'ls -la', remove_newline = True )
print( output )
expect.exit()

The output from the 'mount' command is not returned until the output variable is assigned with the 'ls -la' command.

There is probably something I am misunderstanding about how this should work.

I have tried using the same object to connect, run a command, and then disconnect, and then reconnect again and repeat the process. This almost works as expected. I can reconnect using the same object, and successfully run a command, but I cannot then use the exit function to close the connection. I receive the following error:

File "C:\Users\...\venv\lib\site-packages\redssh\redssh.py", line 588, in exit
    if not self._ssh_keepalive_thread==None:
AttributeError: 'RedExpect' object has no attribute '_ssh_keepalive_thread'

I can still continue to run commands with the same object, but I cannot find a way to simply close the connection entirely, after a I reconnect.

The closest work around I have found is, after using exit the first time, I delete the object, but this is inconvenient to me to have to recreate the object over again.

dear all. I have a target host that I can ssh to it without password. But I fail login using redExpect :

Yes I read the docs, but I can't understand which part of it to fix my problem

Hi, I'm trying to install redexpect by I get the following error when running pip install redexpect. I was able to install redexpect in the past but now is giving a problem installing redlibssh2.
