I am running the source version of web2py from an Ubuntu VM and Python 2.7. I'm trying to use the Paramiko library for SSH functionality, but the following code gives this error:
Code
from paramiko import client
Error
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/localadmin/scanme/gluon/restricted.py", line 227, in restricted
exec ccode in environment
File "/home/localadmin/scanme/applications/nmap/controllers/default.py", line 418, in <module>
File "/home/localadmin/scanme/gluon/globals.py", line 417, in <lambda>
self._caller = lambda f: f()
File "/home/localadmin/scanme/applications/nmap/controllers/default.py", line 50, in login
except paramiko.ssh_exception.AuthenticationException:
NameError: global name 'paramiko' is not defined
What is confusing me is that importing and using the paramiko library works perfectly fine on my system when I run Python outside of web2py.
I thought that all modules available in my local Python install were supposed to be available in web2py when using the source version. This is how i launched the web server from the command line:
python2.7 web2py.py
Does anyone know what may be causing this issue? It's worth noting that I have not found a "paramiko" directory on my system after installing the library like I have with other modules that are working in web2py.
Your import statement is:
from paramiko import client
But in your code, you have:
except paramiko.ssh_exception.AuthenticationException
In order to reference paramiko, you must import it:
import paramiko
