The read_until (and I assume expect) method(s) have an
optional timeout parameter; a float is required but
this is not documented; use of an integer causes an
exception.  

Documentation needs to mention the need for a float
value (alternatively, telnetlib should convert to a float).

I can't replicate this; an integer value seems to work fine for me.
Can you provide a test program that manifests the problem?
And what exception and traceback do you get?

The exception, which my program catches, was 'a float is
required'.  No traceback was provided.

I have been unable to reproduce this error in a test
program.  It is worth noting that subsequent to reporting
this "bug", I have upgraded from 2.3a1 to 2.3b.

It looked to me that the timeout argument is passed to
select.select, which apparently expects a float, yet an
integer does not seem to cause an exception.

Since we don't seem to be able to reproduce the error, I
think we could close this bug.  Do I need to do that?

I seem to recall that there were some changes related to
PyArg_ParseTuple's format codes during the alpha cycle; perhaps they 
caused your problem and have since gotten fixed.

I'll close the bug.  (Unless you're granted admin privileges on the Python 
SourceForge project, you can't close it.)
