Hi, I need some help with regex in python3 - in python2 I'm getting the right result from code input (e.g. line 53 https://github.com/Loganinit/python-zaid/blob/master/1%20mac_changer/macchanger-9.py)

current_mac = re.search(r"\w\w:\w\w:\w\w:\w\w:\w\w:\w\w",ifconfig_result)

but I cannot find the correct input for python3. Can you help? I've tried flags options etc

The error includes

TypeError: cannot use a string pattern on a bytes-like object"

Thanks!

Hey,
subprocess.check_output(["ifconfig",interface]) returns raw data in bytes. You can use a byte method called decode( ) to convert the byte to string before using regex.
i've made the changes for you in my forked repo.. https://github.com/nikhildr22/python-zaid/blob/master/1%20mac_changer/macchanger-9.py

That's amazing, and such a simple solution. Thank you!

Hello nikhildr22, and thanks again for updating the Ch1 sections.
Zaid's videos (Udemy and O'Reilly) and code are really an EXCELLENT source, but the course's reliance on Python 2.7 is no longer relevant, since 2.7 entered end of life this year. It appears that at each step I am encountering issues in conversion. I have an email on which you can contact me (see profile), and that way I can be more specific.

Thanks!

use python pip module 2to3 to convert python2 files to python3 files
example: suppose the keylogger works with python2 so u run 2to3 -w keylogger.py (this will convert the existing file to python3 and will create a backup file - keylogger.bak)
