#open file to write command output
#file = open('_outputtexte', 'w')

# Execute commands
output = net_connect.send_command_expect('sh run', delay_factor=60)

#with open(filename) ad fh:
#line=fh.readline()
#line = fp.readline()
#   cnt = 1

@carlniger , @ktbyers I realized what the issue was it is just because of an authentication issue. It was not accepting the command terminal length 0 from netmiko. then I was not having anything in ly output file. the logging session showed everything. Thanks Guys

Logging setup is here:

You can also look at the session log by adding the session_log argument to your device / ConnectHandler call:

device = {
    'device_type': 'cisco_ios',
    'host': '172.24.237.130',
    'username': 'brunolepu401',
    'password': getpass(),
    'session_log': 'my_file.out',  
}
