probleme with old python scrip

I'm still republishing a python 2.x script in 3.x.
at some point, the script must replace the "print" function with "disp" (equivalent in TI basic language) except that it no longer works because of parentheses. anyone have an idea to fix it?
The code :
elif (line.find("print ")==idepth(line)):
line = replace(line,"print ","Disp ")
if (line[-1] == ","):
line = line[:-1].rstrip() # Trailing , not legal for ti basic
thanks in advance

You can use python's regular expression library to perform more advanced string matching and replacement than replace(). Specifically, re.sub(), which functions the same as replace() but takes regular expressions instead of simple strings.
Be sure to first import it with import re. You can then do the following:
elif (line.find("print ")==idepth(line)):
line = re.sub(r"print *\(\"(.+)\"\)", r"disp \1", line)
if (line[-1] == ","):
line = line[:-1].rstrip() # Trailing , not legal for ti basic
This will look for a string of the format "print("&1")" or "print ("&1")" and replace it with "disp &1", where &1 is the contents between the quotes.
Edit: You had initially specified that you wanted the output "without the quotes", but it seems you've edited that comment. If you want to include the quotes in the output, use this line instead:
line = re.sub(r"print *\((.+)\)", r"disp \1", line)

Index Error: list index out of range in python

I have project in internet security class. My partner started the project and wrote some python code and i have to continue from where he stopped. But i don't know python and i was planning to learn by running his code and checking how it works. however when i am executing his code i get an error which is "IndexError: list index out of range".

# Deauthenticate devices
os.system("python2 ~/Downloads/de_auth.py -s 00:22:b0:07:58:d4 -d & sleep 30; kill $!")

# Capture DHCP Packet
os.system("tcpdump -lenx -s 1500 port bootps or port bootpc -v > dhcp.txt & sleep 20; kill $!")
# read packet txt file
DHCP_Packet = open("dhcp.txt", "r")
# Get info from txt file of saved packet
line1 = DHCP_Packet.readline()
line1 = line1.split()
sourceMAC = line1[1]
destMAC = line1[3]
TTL = line1[12]
length = line1[8]
#Parse packet
line = DHCP_Packet.readline()
while "0x0100" not in line:
line = DHCP_Packet.readline()
packet = line + DHCP_Packet.read()
packet = packet.replace("0x0100:", "")
packet = packet.replace("0x0110:", "")
packet = packet.replace("0x0120:", "")
packet = packet.replace("0x0130:", "")
packet = packet.replace("0x0140:", "")
packet = packet.replace("0x0150:", "")
packet = packet.replace("\n", "")
packet = packet.replace(" ", "")
packet = packet.replace(" ", "")
packet = packet.replace("000000000000000063825363", "")
# Locate option (55) = 0x0037
option = "0"
i=0
length = 0
while option != "37":
option = packet[i:i+2]
hex_length = packet[i+2:i+4]
length = int(packet[i+2:i+4], 16)
i = i+ length*2 + 4
i = i - int(hex_length, 16)*2
print "Option (55): " + packet[i:i+length*2 ] + "\nLength: " + str(length) + " Bytes"
print "Source MAC: " + sourceMAC
Thank you a lot

The index error probably means you have an empty or undefined section (index) in your lists. It's most likely in the loop condition at the bottom:
while option != "37":
option = packet[i:i+2]
hex_length = packet[i+2:i+4]
length = int(packet[i+2:i+4], 16)
i = i+ length*2 + 4
Alternatively, it could be earlier in reading your text file:
# Get info from txt file of saved packet
line1 = DHCP_Packet.readline()
line1 = line1.split()
sourceMAC = line1[1]
destMAC = line1[3]
TTL = line1[12]
length = line1[8]
Try actually opening the text file and make sure all the lines are referred to correctly.
If you're new to coding and not used to understanding error messages or using a debugger yet, one way to find the problem area is including print ('okay') between lines in the code, moving it down progressively until the line no longer prints.
I'm pretty new to python as well, but I find it easier to learn by writing your own code and googling what you want to achieve (especially when a partner leaves you code like that...). This website provides documentation on in-built commands (choose your version at the top): https://docs.python.org/3.4/contents.html,
and this website contains more in-depth tutorials for common functions: http://www.tutorialspoint.com/python/index.htm

I think the variable line1 that being split does not have as much as 13 numbers,so you will get error when executing statement TTL = line1[12].
Maybe you do not have the same environment as your partner worked with ，so the result you get(file dhcp.txt) by executing os.system("") maybe null(or with a bad format).
You should check the content of the file dhcp.txt or add statement print line1 after line1 = DHCP_Packet.readline() to check if it has a correct format.

How to put text in input line: how to ask for user input on the command line while providing a 'default' answer that the user can edit or delete?

I am creating a Python script that asks for input from the command line. The user will have the ability to edit a part of a file. I can ask for the new information and overwrite it in the file, no problem. But I would rather have the to-edit part of the file already put in the command line, so it does not have to be typed completely over. Is this possible?
File:
1|This file
2|is not empty
Example:
>>>edit line 2
Fetching line 2
Edit the line then hit enter
>>>is not empty #This is written here by the script, not by the user
Which then can be changed to
>>>is not full either
Edited file
Afther which the file has changed to:
1|This file
2|is not full either
I hope it's clear what I am trying to accomplish.
This question has been said to answer my question, it does to a certain extent. It does when I am running Linux with readline. However, I am not. I am using Windows and am not using readline. I would like to only use the standard library.
An answer for Windows is also provided with that question. However, I get an ImportError with win32console, it might be because mentioned question is not about Python3.4, but mine is.
Also, I was wondering if this was possible with the standard library, not with an external library.

Unfortunately, I don't know if kind of input() with default value is available in standard library.
There is an external solution - use win32console as mentioned in this answer. However, it has two pitfalls as far as I can see. First, the import is bundled in a package pywin32. So you would use pip install pywin32, except it does not work, because of the second pitfall: the information about the package at pypi is outdated, it says that package is incompatible with Python 3.4...
But in fact, it can work! You should follow the "Download URL" visible at pypi project page (i.e. https://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/ ) and install latest build. I just installed build 219 for Py3.4, as I myself also use this Python version. On the page installers are provided for several Python versions for 32bit and 64bit Windows.
Also, I've tweaked the code from above-linked SO answer to work in Python 3:
import win32console
_stdin = win32console.GetStdHandle(win32console.STD_INPUT_HANDLE)
def input_def(prompt, default=''):
keys = []
for c in str(default):
evt = win32console.PyINPUT_RECORDType(win32console.KEY_EVENT)
evt.Char = c
evt.RepeatCount = 1
evt.KeyDown = True
keys.append(evt)
_stdin.WriteConsoleInput(keys)
return input(prompt)
if __name__ == '__main__':
name = input_def('Folder name: ', 'it works!!!')
print()
print(name)
This works on my Windows machine... If this does not work on yours, can you provide the error message?

I have written a line editor which hopefully does what you are looking for. But it is a quick-and-dirty hack. It is Windows only and written with CPython 3.6.5 on Windows 10, so its use might be limited. It has been tested on codepage 1252 (ANSI Latin 1; Western European (Windows)) and codepage 65001 (utf-8). It is very basic and a bit sluggish as it is not speed-optimized. (I should rewrite it in C but I do not have the time.) It is hardly tested and poorly documented.

You could do it with tkinter:
from tkinter import *
def enter():
global commandEntry
command = commandEntry.get()
# Do stuff with command
commandEntry.delete(0, END)
def edit_line(line):
global commandEntry
commandEntry.insert(0, line)
root = Tk()
messageVar = StringVar()
messageVar.set("Enter a command:")
message = Label(root, textvariable=messageVar)
commandEntry = Entry(root)
enterButton = Button(root, text="Enter", command=enter)
root.mainloop()

You should just have 2 variables: one for standard string, one for string that will user change by itself.
Like:
str1 = 'String that is standard'
str2 = str1 #it usually will be standard string
usr = input('your text goes here')
if len(usr) != 0:
str2 = usr
#and here goes code for writing string into file

Python - Changing File Object within function

Sorry - My questions is how can I change a file object within a function from a different function?
I've been trying to work out this error in my first python script for too long now, Dr Google and the forums aren't helping me too much, but I'm hoping you can.
I have a looping function that generates alot of data and I would like to output it to a text file, and create a new text file after the third loop.
I have 2 functions defined, one to create the data hashes, the other to create the new files.
The new files are being created as expected (aaa.txt, baa.txt...etc) but the "hashit" function only ever writes to the first file (aaa.txt) even though the others are being created.
I have tried fo.close() fo.flush(), as well as referencing fo in the functions but can't seem to make it work. Also I've moved the fo.write from the function to the main body.
I have included a cut down version of the code that I've been using to troubleshoot this issue, the real one has several more loops increasing the string length.
Thanks in advance
import smbpasswd, hashlib
base = '''abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz '''
# base length 95
print(base)
baselen = len(base)
name = 'aaa.txt'
fo = open(name, "w")
print "Name of the file: ", fo.name
print "Closed or not : ", fo.closed
print "Opening mode : ", fo.mode
print "Softspace flag : ", fo.softspace
pw01 = 0
pw02 = 0
pw03 = 0
def hashit(passwd):
#2
# Need to install module
# sudo apt-get install python-smbpasswd
hex_dig_lm = smbpasswd.lmhash(passwd)
hex_dig_ntlm = smbpasswd.nthash(passwd)
#print '%s:%s' % smbpasswd.hash(passwd)
hash_md5 = hashlib.md5(passwd)
hex_dig_md5 = hash_md5.hexdigest()
print(passwd)
print(hex_dig_lm)
print(hex_dig_ntlm)
print(hex_dig_md5)
hashstring = passwd +","+ hex_dig_lm +","+ hex_dig_md5 + '\n'
fo.write(hashstring);
def newfile(name):
fo.flush()
fo = open(name, "a")
print("-------newfile------")
print "Name of the file: ", fo.name
print "Closed or not : ", fo.closed
print('NewFile : ' + name)
raw_input("\n\nPress the enter key to exit.")
# add 3rd digit
while (pw03 < baselen):
pwc03 = base[pw03]
name = pwc03 + 'aa.txt'
fo.close
newfile(name);
pw03 += 1
while (pw02 < baselen):
pwc02 = base[pw02]
pw02 += 1
while (pw01 < baselen):
pwc01 = base[pw01]
pw01 += 1
passwd = pwc03 + pwc02 + pwc01
hashit(passwd);
else:
pw01 = 0
else:
pw02 = 0
else:
pw03 = 0

In your newfile() function, add this line first:
global fo

Problems porting from Python to Ruby

I have a neat little script in python that I would like to port to Ruby and I think it's highlighting my noobishness at Ruby. I'm getting the error that there is an unexpected END statement, but I don't see how this can be so. Perhaps there is a keyword that requires an END or something that doesn't want an END that I forgot about. Here is all of the code leading up to the offending line Offending line is commented.
begin
require base64
require base32
rescue LoadError
puts "etext requires base32. use 'gem install --remote base32' and try again"
end
# Get a string from a text file from disk
filename = ARGV.first
textFile = File.open(filename)
text = textFile.read()
mailType = "text only" # set the default mailType
#cut the email up by sections
textList1 = text.split(/\n\n/)
header = textList1[0]
if header.match (/MIME-Version/)
mailType = "MIME"
end
#If mail has no attachments, parse as text-only. This is the class that does this
class TextOnlyMailParser
def initialize(textList)
a = 1
body = ""
header = textList[0]
#parsedEmail = Email.new(header)
while a < textList.count
body += ('\n' + textList[a] + '\n')
a += 1
end
#parsedEmail.body = body
end
end
def separate(text,boundary = nil)
# returns list of strings and lists containing all of the parts of the email
if !boundary #look in the email for "boundary= X"
text.scan(/(?<=boundary=).*/) do |bound|
textList = recursiveSplit(text,bound)
end
return textList
end
if boundary
textList = recursiveSplit(text,boundary)
end
end
def recursiveSplit(chunk,boundary)
if chunk.is_a? String
searchString = "--" + boundary
ar = cunk.split(searchString)
return ar
elsif chunk.is_a? Array
chunk do |bit|
recursiveSplit(bit,boundary);
end
end
end
class MIMEParser
def initialize(textList)
#textList = textList
#nestedItems = []
newItem = NestItem.new(self)
newItem.value = #textList[0]
newItem.contentType = "Header"
#nestedItems.push(newItem)
#setup parsed email
#parsedEmail = Email.new(newItem.value)
self._constructNest
end
def checkForContentSpecial(item)
match = item.value.match (/Content-Disposition: attachment/)
if match
filename = item.value.match (/(?<=filename=").+(?=")/)
encoding = item.value.match (/(?<=Content-Transfer-Encoding: ).+/)
data = item.value.match (/(?<=\n\n).*(?=(\n--)|(--))/m)
dataGroup = data.split(/\n/)
dataString = ''
i = 0
while i < dataGroup.count
dataString += dataGroup[i]
i ++
end #<-----THIS IS THE OFFENDING LINE
#parsedEmail.attachments.push(Attachment.new(filename,encoding,dataString))
end

Your issue is the i ++ line, Ruby does not have a post or pre increment/decrement operators and the line is failing to parse. I can't personally account as to why i++ evaluates in IRB but i ++ does not perform any action.
Instead replace your ++ operators with += 1 making that last while:
while i < dataGroup.count
dataString += dataGroup[i]
i += 1
end
But also think about the ruby way, if you're just adding that to a string why not do a dataString = dataGroup.join instead of looping over with a while construct?
