Software Package Clean

[deuce40sr]

Hello all,

I've sent a ton of time trying to get a simple script to work but nothing I try is working. I got most of the pieces to work but I'm having issues with the meat of this script where the command is actually run on my target devices. I want to run request platform software package clean then based on output from the command either delete the output or just print the output if there is nothing to be cleaned. This is what I have for this bit:

output=net_connect.send_command("request platform software package clean", expect_string="Do you want to proceed? [y/n]")

#sends a yes when prompted
output += net_connect.send_command("y",read_timeout=200)

print(ip + "######################################################")
print(output)
net_connect.disconnect()

when I run this I get a time out exemption

Ive tried send_command_timing, and I tried just setting the read time out but both did not yield the expected results.

Heres what the terminal output looks like on a switch there are two scenarios:
1.
switch#request platform software package clean

/flash/cat3k_caa-webui.16.09.06.SPA.pkg
Do you want to proceed? [y/n]

I tired get the output then use that to match parts of the string with an if else statement but I did not have any look with this approach as well. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
