I'm trying to use telnetlib in a simple script similar to the example show in the documentation. I get an error saying SyntaxError: invalid syntax. This is true with Windows 10, and XP, both using Python 2.7.11 32 bit.

Here's what happens in IDLE:
>>> import sys
>>> import telnetlib
>>> tn = telnetlib.Telnet(host=192.168.1.15, port=3490, timeout=5)
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>> tn = telnetlib.Telnet(192.168.1.15, 3490, 5)
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>> tn = telnetlib.Telnet(192.168.1.15)
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>> tn = telnetlib.Telnet(host=192.168.1.15, port=3490, timeout=5)
