mikrotik_routeros incomplete output

Hi, I’m working on automating a mixture of devices and ran into issues. Using a minimal testscript I found the mikrotik to behave differently. I tried:

def testcmd(ipaddr, devicetype, MyCmd):
   DeviceInfo = {
            'device_type': devicetype,
            'host':       ipaddr,
            'username':   "admin",
            'password':   "admin",
            'global_cmd_verify':False
    }         
    net_connect = ConnectHandler(**DeviceInfo)
    output = net_connect.send_command(MyCmd)
    net_connect.disconnect()
    print("{" + output + "}\n")


testcmd("192.168.73.20", "mikrotik_routeros", "export")
testcmd("192.168.37.30", "hp_procurve",       "sh run")

which gave an incomplete result for routeros (yes, tried against multiple devices)

Next step I tried:

def testcmd(ipaddr, devicetype, MyCmd):
   DeviceInfo = {
            'device_type': devicetype,
            'host':       ipaddr,
            'username':   "admin",
            'password':   "admin",
            'global_cmd_verify':False
    }         
    net_connect = ConnectHandler(**DeviceInfo)
    if devicetype == "mikrotik_routeros":    
        output = net_connect.send_command_timing(MyCmd)
    else:
        output = net_connect.send_command(MyCmd)
    net_connect.disconnect()
    print("{" + output + "}\n")


testcmd("192.168.73.20", "mikrotik_routeros", "export")
testcmd("192.168.37.30", "hp_procurve",       "sh run")

which gave the result I expected in the first place

Is this expected? a bug? programmer error? Any suggestions or ideas?

Keeping an eye out for the next update. Still cant get a good output from my MT router with the changes above and in other threads. Getting partial output from commands.
