telnetlib deprecated in python 3.13

[johanreinalda]

Just FYI:
using junos-eznc with python3.11, I get this (when warnings enabled):

.../venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/jnpr/junos/transport/tty_telnet.py:2: DeprecationWarning: 'telnetlib' is deprecated and slated for removal in Python 3.13

3.13 will be release on Oct 1, 2024...

@johanreinalda
PyEZ supports Python 3.12 and will be validated using official Python 3.13. The module will be removed if it is deprecated in Python 3.13.

I vendored telnetlib in Netmiko (should be there in Netmiko 4.4.0 and later):

from netmiko._telnetlib import telnetlib

I guess the other solutions are to drop telnet support or vendor it yourself (or find a different released version of telnetlib that you trust).

telnetlib is deprecated in the sense that it is no longer built into Python itself (as of PY3.13).

@dineshbaburam91 What is the Python 3.13 plan for PyEZ?

PY3.13 has now been released for several months.

I don't much care one way or another if PyEZ supports telnetlib, but it needs to work with PY3.13. This is causing issues for me with respect to both Napalm and Nornir libraries.

Created this PR here:

#1352

Open to other solutions, but definitely needs a fix.

Any update on this issue (the lack of PY3.13 support for PyEZ)?

[johanreinalda]

Yes, I would also like to see some movement here. I've reached out to our Juniper SE to see what he can shake loose internally...
