Writing a network Scanner with python using scapy - python

I am writing a simple network scanner with python using scapy following is my code :
import scapy.all as scapy
def scan(ip):
scapy.arping(ip)
scan("192.168.1.1/24")
Error I am getting :

NOTE: I am running it on mac OS.

I wrote this exact program when I first started programming with matching syntax, and it ran correctly on my systems when run as administrator. I develop on Linux and Windows rather than Mac, but I will offer what I can.
Are you running this script through your IDE or calling it from the shell?
I recommend only running it from the shell. This simply gives you more control over the files like specifying which version of python the script is, and if you need administrative privileges for a script, you can elevate the script permissions in the shell.
Also, in my OS, I was taught to always use, and have experienced the mistakes of forgetting this, always add:
#!/usr/bin/env python
as the first line of every script. At least in Linux, it tells the PC how to treat the file (it tells it to treat the file as a python file--yes I acknowledge that its already running it as python). I would check to see if that is valid for MacOS file system.
Most of what I have recommended so far comes down to no /dev/bpf handle is available, only ever being an issue for me when I'm not running script as an administrator (although Linux states permission denied). And I shouldn't leave out that using Anaconda on Windows in the past (before I understood the structure of my file systems) prevented me from using common modules like pygame and scapy. I could only guess in that case Anaconda prevented the PC from knowing where to find every piece of that module by making the computer think it had its own one of that module under Anaconda directory when it was in a different PATH.

No Python IDE will start and it will not start in the Command Prompt

When I click on my Python IDE's (IDEL, PyScripter) they will not even open. I tried typing python in the command prompt and this is what happened:
C:\>python
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.5\lib\site.py", line 548, in <module>
main()
File "C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.5\lib\site.py", line 537, in main
aliasmbcs()
File "C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.5\lib\site.py", line 469, in aliasmbcs
codecs.lookup(enc)
File "C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.5\lib\encodings\__init__.py", line 85, in search_function
norm_encoding = normalize_encoding(encoding)
File "C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.5\lib\encodings\__init__.py", line 57, in normalize_encoding`enter code here`
encoding = str(encoding, "ascii")
TypeError: str() takes at most 1 argument (2 given)
Did you recently install ArcGIS? It looks to me like ArcGIS installed a few libraries, and overwrote your site.py, but it's using code that's meant for Python3 rather than Python2.7. The str function is capable of taking in 2 arguments in Python3 but not in Python2.
To get your Python to work again, you could try deleting the entire ArcGIS10.5 directory from your computer (or temporarily moving it to your desktop and seeing if that helps). You can also try running python -S in Command Prompt to run Python without importing site.py.
To try to get ArcGIS working, you might be able to install Python3, and reinstall ArcGIS using that.
Hopefully that helps!

Trying to make PLY work for the first time

I'm new to Python and I'm having some problems trying to make PLY works. For now, all I want is to successfully run the example from the PLY homepage.
At first I tried to just download PLY-3.8, put the ply folder in the same directory I saved the example (calc.py) and ran it. The calc.py file is at the C:\Users\...\Python directory and the ply folder is the C:\Users\...\Python\ply, just to make it clearer. But I got an ImportError: No module named 'ply'.
Then I searched for a while, tried to update something called distutils and install the modules through the Windows PowerShell and so on and so forth, but none of that worked and I just reset the whole thing (reinstalling Python and all of that). But then I finally got it to work by simply inserting into the sys.path the directory path where the script I was running (edit: in interactive mode) was, by doing this:
import sys
sys.path.insert(0,'C:\\Users\\ ... \\Python')
This fixed the ImportError but, and this is where I am now, there are a bunch of other errors:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\...\Python\calc.py", line 48, in <module>
lexer = lex.lex()

File "c:\users\...\python\python35\lib\inspect.py", line 606, in getfile
raise TypeError('{!r} is a built-in module'.format(object))
TypeError: <module '__main__'> is a built-in module
Now I have absolutely no idea what to do. I tried to search for a solution but had no luck. I appreciate if anyone can help me out.
I'm on Windows 10, using Python 3.5.0 and iep as my IDE (www.iep-project.org) if these informations are of any importance.
In short: I just want to successfully run the example from the PLY homepage and then I think I can figure out the rest.
EDIT: I found out that if I do:
import inspect
inspect.getfile(__main__)
I get the exact same (last) error from before:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
File "c:\users\...\python\python35\lib\inspect.py", line 606, in getfile
raise TypeError('{!r} is a built-in module'.format(object))
TypeError: <module '__main__'> is a built-in module
I think this is the culprit, but I still don't know how to fix it.
EDIT 2: I got it to work and answered the question explaining how, but if someone have a more complete answer, I would love to hear it.
To anyone having this problem, I found what was the issue. I still don't know why exactly is like that, so if anyone have a more complete answer to provide I would appreciate (I'm still a newbie at Python).
Anyway, it seems this code can't be executed in Interactive mode, it needs to be executed as a script. To do that on IEP it's Run > Run file as script or Ctrl+Shift+E. On IDLE you need to Open... the file (Ctrl+O) and then Run Module (F5).
As to why it can't be executed in Interactive mode, here's a little bit about the difference between interactive mode and running as script from the IEP wizard:
Interactive mode vs running as script
You can run the current file or the main file normally, or as a script. When run as script, the shell is restared (sic) to provide a clean environment. The shell is also initialized differently so that it closely resembles a normal script execution.
In interactive mode, sys.path[0] is an empty string (i.e. the current dir), and sys.argv is set to [''].
In script mode, __file__ and sys.argv[0] are set to the scripts filename, sys.path[0] and the working dir are set to the directory containing the script.
That explains a bit about why the inspect.getfile(__main__) was throwing an error: the __main__ had no attribute __file__. And also why I had to insert the current directory into sys.path: sys.path didn't had the current directory in interactive mode.
I hope this helps someone.

Cannot start a console in newly installed Pycharm in Windows

On Windows 7 machine, Pycharm (community or professional) and Python 3.4 (tried Anaconda 3 as well) were installed newly. There were not problems running Python scripts interactively in main editor. However, when I tried to select View > Tool Windows > Python Console, it generates the following error messages and more. Basically, I couldn't bring up a console window in Pycharm.

You need to change your working directory. Go to File->Settings->Build, Execution, Deployment->Console->Python Console and then change or provide a directory where you have read and write access in the Working directory box.
The configuring of pycharm in the presence of various development configurations is a bit of a black art IMHO.
The most effective mechanism I've found for pinning this down is put random strings into the various settings dialogs, Interpreters, consoles, tests , servers and observe the command lines submitted to the interpreter VERY carefully.
Hardly a satisfactory approach but it will sort out what is going where and to a certain degree what effects what.
The other think that helps me are screenshots of the settings and testing dialogs of working installations.
Again, a bit rough and ready but it has got me up and running again after a long period of successful debugging followed by pycharm amnesia.
I had same problem. I reinstalled python and default directories have changed.
Then I just refreshed interpreter here File->Settings->Build, Execution, Deployment->Console->Python Console and here File->Settings->Project: <YOUR_PROJECT>->Project Interpreter.
If you will open new projects interpreter will need choose again (?)
I got it resolved by setting the interpreter in Preferences and project interpreter.

Enthought Canopy crashes upon opening mac

So yesterday I updated to Enthought version 1.1 and now it refuses to open. I've rebooted my computer as well as did a re-install of enthought canopy. I keep getting the following error

LockError: Lock could not be acquired
I have no idea what's going on here. I've sent the error report to enthought but does anyone have any ideas?
I think I did it. Try searching for these files in your Terminal. They're inside your .canopy folder. Make sure that you're working on your root directory. They're not searchable via Finder. My Canopy's finally working now. Hope this helps.
proc_manager.lock
process.lck
running_procs.pkl
Somehow it seems like a lock file didn't get cleaned in the process. Look into the ~/.canopy folder and remove the process.lck file. You may also start your Activity Monitor and make sure there is no stray canopy or python process, and kill it if there is (or log out of OSX and log back in, which will do the same thing). Canopy will run as normally after that.

Opening Google App Engine in a Python script

I'm fairly new to programming and decided to setup a simple python script that would open all the applications I use for webapp development. The code I am using is (for GAE):
google_appengine = r'C:\Applications\google_app_engine\launcher\GoogleAppEngineLauncher.exe'
subprocess.Popen(google_appengine)
This works fine for the other programs I am opening, but I am unable to run any applications within App Engine after I have opened it this way. I get the following error in my App Engine log file:
Exception in thread Thread-2:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "threading.pyc", line 486, in __bootstrap_inner
File "launcher\taskthread.pyc", line 65, in run

File "subprocess.pyc", line 700, in _get_handles
File "subprocess.pyc", line 745, in _make_inheritable
WindowsError: [Error 6] The handle is invalid
I'm guessing it is the way subprocess.Popen() works, but I haven't been able to find any alternatives. I'm running Windows 7 if that makes a difference. Thanks for looking.
if you want to manage the local dev_appserver, this is the wrong approach.
the best way to do this is clone the sdk repository (https://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/) directly to your drive and then add that path to your environment PYTHONPATH variable.
here's a link to a script template i created & often use to manage startup & killing of the dev_appserver process: https://gist.github.com/4514647
i'm not too familiar with managing a python environment on Windows, so you'd have to take my notes on a highlevel and research the specific implementation for that platform.
