I’m starting to write some python code to initiate new servers/VM(s) with proxy servers
This hasn’t been working due to syntax error
subprocess.call("echo 'http_proxy="http://proxy.srx.com:80/" nhttps_proxy="http://proxy.srx.com:80/" nno_proxy="127.0.0.1, localhost, *.internaldns.com, 172.27.255.88, 172.27.255.89" ' >> /etc/environment ", shell=True);
so I tried dividing n into
#!/usr/bin/python import os; import subprocess; subprocess.call(["ls", "/etc/"]); print "=====Next Command====="; print "echo to environment"; subprocess.call("echo "http_proxy="http://proxy.srx.com:80/"" >> /etc/environment", shell=True); subprocess.call("echo "https_proxy="http://proxy.srx.com:80/"" >> /etc/environment", shell=True); subprocess.call("echo "no_proxy="127.0.0.1, localhost, *.internaldns.com, 172.27.255.88, 172.27.255.89"" >> /etc/environment", shell=True); print "=====Next Command====="; subprocess.call("ls /root/", shell=True); #if CentOS yum.conf #if Ubuntu apt.conf ~
But still this syntax error?
~# ./sys.py File "./sys.py", line 12 subprocess.call("echo "http_proxy="http://proxy.srx.com:80/"" >> /etc/environment", shell=True); ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Thanks! I’ve tried many combinations of ‘ and ” but no luck.

The problem is "echo "http_proxy="http://proxy.srx.com:80/""...
is not a valid string
you should use:
subprocess.call("""echo "http_proxy="http://proxy.srx.com:80/"" >> /etc/environment""", shell=True);
