The software doesn't do what I'd like (easily) and text-based telnet commands is even less efficient so I want to make a "control panel" with Python: a screen of preset buttons, click the preset and execute the Telnet commands to make it happen. The connection is the IP address of the device and port 9990. In addition, I can use the software produced by the manufacturer which also uses telnet behind the scenes. I can "remote" control the switcher by using simple Telnet commands I can type into PuTTY or other terminal programs (such as SolarPuTTY, and even Telnet Lite on my mobile phone).


I'm trying to write an application in Python for controlling a video switcher via Telnet.
