netmiko cannot handle "admin display-config" output

Got the problem to run netmiko to “admin display-config” (like Cisco IOS “show run”). Anyway to work around? As you can see below, “show time” and “show version” can get the support no problem.

>>> r1 = {'ip':'7750sr12-2','device_type':'alcatel_sros', 'username':'test', 'password':'test'}
>>> import netmiko
>>> nc = netmiko.ConnectHandler(**r1)
>>> nc.send_command('show time')
'\nMon Mar 12 21:58:05 UTC 2018'
>>> nc.send_command('show version')

@cctsay https://github.com/cctsay Okay, try this:

nc.send_command(‘admin display-config’, delay_factor=2, max_loops=2000)

That should allow for roughly 800 seconds for it to complete.

If that fails please post the stack trace.
