change_mac(options.interface, options.new_mac)
this is the error
Traceback (most recent call last):

I'm aware of Python Basics and ive done a few programs before this , I was following a course and the guy made this exact program but he isnt getting errors, I am. If somebody could help me understand the problem it would be really helpful cuz i dont want to progress further into the course without fixing this.
Consider adding default values to those options:
parser.add_option( "-i", "--interface", dest="interface", help="interface to change its MAC address", default="interface not provided")
parser.add_option( "-m", "--mac", dest="new_mac", help="new MAC address", default="mac address not provided")
Try this
def change_mac(interface, new_mac):
interface = interface or '' # instead of empty string you can set a value
new_mac = new_mac or '' # instead of empty string you can set a value
print("[+] Changing MAC address for " , interface , " to " , new_mac)
Or you can have default value in the method's definition
def change_mac(interface='some_value', new_mac='Some Value'):
print("[+] Changing MAC address for " , interface , " to " , new_mac)
Try:
import subprocess
import optparse
def change_mac(interface, new_mac):
print("[+] Changing MAC address for " , interface , " to " , new_mac)
subprocess.call(["ifconfig", interface, "down"])
subprocess.call(["ifconfig", interface, "hw", "ether ", new_mac])
subprocess.call(["ifconfig", interface, "up"])
parser = optparse.OptionParser()
parser.add_option( "-i", "--interface", dest="interface", help="interface to change
its MAC address")
parser.add_option( "-m", "--mac", dest="new_mac", help="new MAC address")
(options, arguments) = parser.parse_args()
change_mac(options.interface, options.new_mac)
The reason for this error is that you can only use the "+" if you want to add two or more strings. But interface and new_mac are not strings.
