When getting an o/p from Juniper using Paramiko, the output first shows the commands and then execute the commands. Below is the code and output
import paramiko
import getpass
password = getpass.getpass()
with open('ips.txt','r') as f:
ip = f.read().splitlines()
for device in ip:
ssh_client = paramiko.SSHClient()
ssh_client.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy())
ssh_client.connect(device, port=22, username='test', password=password, look_for_keys=False, allow_agent=False)
remote_connection = ssh_client.invoke_shell()
remote_connection.send('set cli screen-length 500\n')
remote_connection.send('ping 4.2.2.2 rapid\n')
import time
time.sleep(3)
output = remote_connection.recv(4096)
print(output.decode())
with open('Backup.txt', 'a+') as f:
f.write(output)
f.write("\n********************\n")
ssh_client.close()
Output is below:

You are executing the commands by simulating typing them on an interactive shell terminal interface. So it's not really surprising that the terminal echoes what you "type".
To automate a command execution, do not use the shell terminal. Use SSH "exec" channel. In Paramiko that is SSHClient.exec_command.
