Python script doesn't print output in command prompt - python

I need some advice with a Python script. I'm still new and learned it by myself. I found the script on Google. After I retype it, it doesn't print the result in the console. How can the result of the script be shown in the console? Details as below:
C:\Python27>test1.py af8978b1797b72acfff9595a5a2a373ec3d9106d
C:\Python27>
After I press enter, nothing happens. Should the result be shown or not?
Here's the code that I retyped:
#!/usr/bin/python
#coding: ascii
import requests
import sys
import re
url = 'http://hashtoolkit.com/reverse-hash?hash='
try:
hash = sys.argv[1]
except:
print ("usage: python "+sys.argv[0]+" hash")
sys.exit()
http = request.get(url+hash)
content = http.content
cracked = re.findall("<span title=\*decrypted (md5|sha1|sha384|sha512) hash\*>(.*)</span>", content) # expression regular
print ("\n\tAlgoritmo: "+cracked[0][0])
print ("\tPassword Cracked: "+cracked[0][1])

The first line in your script is called a Shebang line.
A Shebang line tells the script to run the Python interpreter from that location.
The shebang line you provided is a Linux system path, but it looks from the path you are executing Python from, that you are running on Windows.
You can do one of two things here to fix that:
Remove the Shebange Line.
Remove the first line from your script.
Execute the script using python test1.py COMMAND_LINE_ARGUMENTS
Modify Your Shebang line.
Change the first line of your script from !/usr/bin/python to
#!python (This is assuming that python is in your systems PATH variable.)`
Execute the script using test1.py COMMAND_LINE_ARGUMENTS
Also, you are trying to import the requests module that is not installed in the standard library.
If you haven't installed this yet, you can do so by going to your Python install directory and go to the scripts folder.
Hold shift and right click and go Open command window here
Type pip install requests and hit enter.
After that you should be good to go, execute the script by navigating to it and type test.py COMMAND_LINE_ARGUMENT
If a Python script doesn't have the shebang line:
python test.py COMMAND_LINE_ARGUMENT

you need to run your script using python. try:
C:\Python27>python test1.py af8978b1797b72acfff9595a5a2a373ec3d9106d

Why can't the import command be found?

I am using the input function from fileinput module to accept script via pipes or input file Here is the minimum script:
finput.py
import fileinput
with fileinput.input() as f:
for line in f:
print(line)
After making this script executable, I run ls | ./finput.py and get unexpected error message
./finput.py: line 1: import: command not found
./finput.py: line 3: syntax error near unexpected token `('
./finput.py: line 3: `with fileinput.input() as f:'
The only fix I found is when I add #!/usr/bin/env/python3 before the import statement.
But this issue seems to be related only to the fileinput module. Since the following script worked well without a shebang:
fruit.py
import random
fruits = ["mango", "ananas", "apple"]
print(random.choice(fruits))
Now what am I missing? Why can't the import command be found since the shebang is not required in finput.py?
Your need to tell your OS that this is a Python program, otherwise, it's interpreted as a shell script (where the import command cannot be found).
Like you identified, this is done by using a shebang line:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
This is only needed if you are going to run your script like this: ./script.py, which tells your OS "run this executable". Doing so requires that your OS identify how it's supposed to run the program, and it relies on the shebang line for that (among other things).
However if you run python script.py (which I'm guessing you did for fruit.py), then Python does not ask your OS whether that is a Python program or not, so the shebang line doesn't matter.

Python encountering unexpected ')` in very short program

Python is seeing some problem with how I am opening a file with the code below
if __name__ == "__main__":
fileName = sys.argv[1]
with open(fileName, 'r') as f:
for line in f:
print line
It is producing the error
./search.py: line 3: syntax error near unexpected token `('
./search.py: line 3: ` with open(fileName, 'r') as f:'
Am I missing an import? What could be the cause of this?
EDIT: OS - CentOS, Python version 2.6.6
Not sure how I installed, I am running an image from a .edu openstack site. Not sure of the distribution, binaries, ...
You must add import sys in order to use sys.argv. Check this out.
I have tried this:
chmod u+x yourfile.py
./yourfile.py
and it gives me:
./jd.py: line 4: syntax error near unexpected token `('
./jd.py: line 4: ` with open(fileName, 'r') as f:'
If you are doing ./search.py file then add at the beginnig of your file #!/usr/bin/env python. Otherwise, use python file.py input
The problem is that you aren't running your program with Python at all! When you do ./script (assuming that script is a text script, and not a binary program), the system will look for a line at the top of the file beginning with the sequence #!. If it finds that line, the rest of the line will be used as the interpreter of that script: the program which runs the script. If it doesn't find that line, the system defaults to /bin/sh.
So, basically, by omitting the magic line #!/usr/bin/python at the top of your script, the system will run your Python script using sh, which will produce all sorts of incorrect results.
The solution, then, is to add the line #!/usr/bin/python (or an equivalent line, like #!/usr/bin/env python) to the top of your Python script so that your system will run it using Python. Alternately, you can also always run your program using python search.py, instead of using ./search.py.
(Note that, on Linux, filename extensions like .py mean almost nothing to the system. Thus, even though it ends with .py, Linux will just execute it as if you wrote /bin/sh search.py).
Either:
the first line of search.py should be a #! comment specifying the path to locate the python executable, usually [#!/usr/bin/env python](Why do people write #!/usr/bin/env python on the first line of a Python script?
on-the-first-line-of-a-python-script). Usually this is #!/usr/env/bin python . Don't use a hardpath e.g. #/opt/local/bin/python2.7
or else you can invoke as python yourfile.py <yourargs> ...
PREVIOUS: If import sys fails, post more of your file please.
Maybe your install is messed up.
Can you import anything else successfully, e.g. import re?
What are your platform, OS and Python version? How did you install? source? binaries? distribution? which ones, from where?

python sys library command prompt

I am trying out the sys library in python. In command prompt I am using this.
>>>import sys
>>>sys.ps1 ='$'
#my own input 'print 'test print''
$print 'test print'
test print
That worked in CLI, however, when I tried to do it in a python file and run it in CLI ( python file.py did not return anything.
#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
sys.ps1= '$'
Am I missing anything in the file?
What are you trying to do? sys.ps1 will just set the prompt for the python interpreter, so as soon as it exits it's effect is gone again. When running a file, there is no command-line.
If you want to see this have an effect, try running this with python -i file.py - this will run the command, and then drop you into the interactive shell, which should have PS1 set to $ now

python command line ok in python shell but not through windows cmd

I was about to test the ftpmirror builtin script (python322, winXP 32bits) from the cmd windows default shell and get this :
File "C:\Program Files\python322\Tools\Scripts\ftpmirror.py", line 161
print('Skip pattern', repr(pat), end=' ')
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
I tested the print() line directly in the python shell, trough cmd, and with idle (and in blender also) : this work obsiously.
I reproduce the error with a coucou.py file like this :
#! /usr/bin/env python3
pat = 'toto'
print("Skip pattern", repr(pat), end=" ")
when directly called from a cmd prompt :
C:\Program Files\python322\Tools\Scripts>coucou.py
same error than with ftpmirror
but :
C:\Program Files\python322\Tools\Scripts>python coucou.py
is ok
and my environment is ok I can execute py scripts directly from the windows ui by double-clicking a .py file, and I got working scripts working fine when called from .bat
I don't get it, it looks specific to the print() end argument, what did I not read yet about the way to execute python3 from the windows cmd shell ?
thanks,
Jerome
Try checking if you are running the same python interpreter when you double click or you run python from the command-line.
Save this in a .py file with this content and try running it with both methods:
import sys
print sys.version_info
I bet you are using different interpreters in each case.

Why different behaviors between running Python module as an executable vs. Python [filename]

So, I created a simple python module, test.py
import commands
def main():
cmd = 'ls -l'
(status, output) = commands.getstatusoutput(cmd)
print status, output
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
When I ran it using "Python test.py", I got the result that I expected. But when I ran it as an executable (yes, it has the 'x' permission), the program didn't respond at all and I had to Ctrl+C to quit it. Why is that? Shouldn't both ways give the same result?
Add a hash-bang line to the top:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import commands
...
This tells your system what interpreter to use to execute the script. Without it it doesn't know if it's a shell script, Perl script, Python script, what.
You need the hashbang to be the first line of your script, referencing the path of the Python interpreter. Otherwise, all the OS knows is that you're trying to execute a script, and it has no idea how to go about doing that.
