I see, thanks for the clarification.
But in my OS X the things are different and I spent about 1 hour trying
this code to take off.
Maybe it's better to change this code to avoid spending time for such
subtle bugs? Say:
tn.read_until(b"Password:")
tn.read_eager()

Or just add a comment. It's confusing when one takes code from the official
website and it doesn't work.

What do you think?
