I want to put the results of 'ls /home' into mylog1.txt through ssh.So,I can check it on my computer.When I run the script,there is no error,there is no output in mylog1.txt。

#!/usr/bin/env python
import pexpect
import sys

child=pexpect.spawn('ssh [email protected]')
fout=file('mylog1.txt','w')
child.logfile=fout

child.expect("password:")
child.sendline("xxxxx")
child.expect('$')
child.sendline('ls /home')

shiyanlou:pythontest/ $ cat mylog1.txt                                                                                    
[email protected]'s password: xxxxxxx 
ls /home

There are just tow commands in the mylog1.txt file.Why?

You have to wait until the ls command finishes, just like when you are interacting with the terminal. See following example (I'm using public key auth for ssh so no password prompt):

[STEP 106] # cat foo.py
import pexpect

shell_prompt = 'bash-[.0-9]+[$#] '

ssh = pexpect.spawn('ssh -t 127.0.0.1 bash --noprofile --norc')
ofile = file('file.out', 'w')
ssh.logfile_read = ofile

ssh.expect(shell_prompt)

ssh.sendline('echo hello world')
ssh.expect(shell_prompt)

ssh.sendline('exit')
ssh.expect(pexpect.EOF)
[STEP 107] # python foo.py
[STEP 108] # cat file.out
bash-4.3# echo hello world
hello world
bash-4.3# exit
exit
Connection to 127.0.0.1 closed.
[STEP 109] #
