Python Easygui Problem

import easygui, sys, telnetlib, time
while True:
    vpc = easygui.enterbox(message='Enter VCI.', title='Enter VCI', argDefaultText='')
    if vpc == 'None':
        sys.exit()
    if vpc[0] in ('1', '2'):
        vpc = vpc[0] + '01' + vpc[2:]
        HOST = "0.0.0.0"
        password = "password"
        tn = telnetlib.Telnet(HOST)
        tn.read_until("Password: ")
        tn.write(password + "\n")
        tn.write("sh int atm6/0." + str(vpc) + "\n")
        tn.write("sh arp | in " + str(vpc) + "\n")
        tn.write("exit\n")
        outstring = tn.read_all()
        #print tn.read_all()
        #time.sleep(10)
        #sys.exit(0)
        easygui.codebox(message='Results' , title='VCI Results', text=outstring)
    else:
        #print "Wrong Server ( 3/ VPI ) or invalid VCI"
        easygui.textbox(message='Error', title='ERROR', text='Wrong Server ( 3/ VPI ) or invalid VCI', codebox=0)
        time.sleep(1)

-- that works fine for me, except it loads a windows command prompt in the background, that closes when the program closes, is there any way to stop this from happening?

Re: Python Easygui Problem

Equality is with '=='.

I don't think your code is valid as you're using assignment ('=') in your if, which other languages let you do, but I'm sure Python doesn't (I've rarely tried as I always thinks it's an example of conciseness over readability).

More readable ways to check the start of a string include: mystring.startswith('1')

And remember when testing multiple truths in a single statement, you need to be a little more verbose. Assuming that you had converted your string to an int first:

elif int(vpc[:1]) > 3 or int(vpc[:1]) < 0:

and so on. Of course, it could be written as if number is not 0-3

elif vpc[:1] not in [0,1,2,3]

or elif vpc[:1] not in range(4)

etc
