invalid syntax for Python Telnet command

I am coding a script interpreter. It should generate a Telnet session to send AT commands.

Here is the script which it generated: 

telentHandle = None
if telentHandle == None:
    import telnetlib
    telentHandle = telnetlib.Telnet(10.49.188.187, 23456)
    telentHandle.read_until("login: ")
    telentHandle.write(userName + "\n")
    telentHandle.read_until("Password: ")
    telentHandle.write(password + "\n")
telentHandle.write(AT + "\n")

When I run it, I get 

  File "H:/code/testgen/test_script.txt.py", line 10
    telentHandle = telnetlib.Telnet(10.49.188.187, 23456)
                                            ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

What am I doing wrongly?

Solution

  • 10.49.188.187 isn't a valid identifier in Python (or any language). You presumably need a string: "10.49.188.187".
