When I try to run the following pexpect command i get the error: TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for %: 'int' and 'dict'
. I do not really understand why I am getting this error. When I do a print of the string I am outputting the results are what I expect.
My code:
p.sendline("sudo date -s \"%(easterndate)s\"") % locals()
Print test of the same string:
print "string ouput: " + "sudo date -s \"%(easterndate)s\"" % locals()
output: sudo date -s "Tue Mar 26 14:25:51 EDT 2013"
It should be:
p.sendline("sudo date -s \"%(easterndate)s\"" % locals())
Otherwise the %
is applied to the result of the sendline
call.
