Encoding Problem

I think the issue I open for async ssh fits here because #I am using this to fetch the output.

Hello! No problem! I will try to help! Can you provide information about your Juniper router? Version? Model? I find out that we recognize the place where you have a problem. Did you try to change comment? Maybe repeat to type 'n' again? Maybe this 'n' letter not from english by mistake?

Hi, Thank you, Actually, I was able to have some idea about the problem. In some of the routers, engineers added some Unicode characters in the descriptions. So when we try to decode it using UTF-8 it just gets the decode error. Thank you for the good work in the library.

Just on a side note

this pattern returns partial juniper output as I've tested show configurations on many routers. This one works fine

_pattern = r"\w+(\@[\-\w]*)"

@waqasraz we had similiar issue to this and we solved it by using this codecs.register_error('strict', codecs.backslashreplace_errors) https://docs.python.org/2/library/codecs.html
