Example script:

import c_connect  
ce, child = c_connect.cjump('username','password','10.10.10.3')  
enable = c_connect.enable(child, "enable_pswd")  
hostname = c_connect.hostname(child)  
term = c_connect.term(child, hostname)  
running_config = c_connect.runconfig(child, hostname)  
close = c_connect.close(child)  
print hostname  
for i in running_config:  
	print i  

Explaination

Second Line: You will call the cjump funtion and you will get a return of the following:
True = You are in the router but not in enable mode

If you something else, there is an error
