brand new to python

I am sure this is old news, the syntax of python is crazy to me.
There I said it, I'm sure I'll get over it or around it.

I was trying to make a whois script work and was unable.

May be someone with lint-like eyes can tell what's wrong.

Using xemacs I had hoped that python mode would do more
for syntax problems, maybe I'm just not using python mode
correctly in xemacs??

Hello!

You should at least close the 'try' block, which you started
at line 68 (if i'm not mistaken):


def _whois(domainname, whoisserver):
s = None

## try until we are connected

while s == None:
try:
^^^^^^^^

There is no corresponding 'except' till DomainRecord class
definition.

I am sure this is old news, the syntax of python is crazy to me.
There I said it, I'm sure I'll get over it or around it.

I was trying to make a whois script work and was unable.

May be someone with lint-like eyes can tell what's wrong. I haven't tried

Using xemacs I had hoped that python mode would do more
for syntax problems, maybe I'm just not using python mode
correctly in xemacs??

Yeah, that's not terribly informative. But notice that all your try/except pairs aren't lined up.
The second except is at the same indentation as the first below the second try. Multiple excepts
are legal under a try, but in your case it leaves the outer (first) try without any matching-indent except.

After fixing that, you may have to join some broken lines, if your post is accurately reflecting your source.

[...]
## try until we are connected

while s == None:
try:
Click to expand...
The above try has no matching except
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.setblocking(0)
try:
s.connect(whoisserver, 43)
except socket.error, (ecode, reason):
if ecode in (115, 150):
pass
else:
raise socket.error, (ecode, reason)
ret = select.select(, , [], 30)

s.close()
raise TimedOut, "on connect "
s.setblocking(1)

The above except is at the same indentation as the previous one,
which is legal syntax, but you probably meant it to match the first try?
print ecode, reason
time.sleep(10)
s = None

s.send("%s \n\n" % domainname)
page = ""
while 1:
data = s.recv()
if not data: break

page = page + data

if string.find(page, "No entries found") != -1:

if string.find(page, "no domain specified") != -1:
raise NoSuchDomain, domainname

if string.find(page, "NO MATCH") != -1:
raise NoSuchDomain, domainname
return page
Click to expand...
Careful with the above return's indentation after you fix the try/excepts.

I've heard pychecker (http://pychecker.sourceforge.net/) catches a lot of stuff.
Maybe it would help you. Having lint-eyes, I haven't yet tried it, though it
would probably save me some time ;-)
