Question

I’m facing a problem with my script:
I would like to store a string inside a list and increment this list with these strings.The string is retrieved from a server response.

This could be resumed like this in Python:

import socket
from socket import *

host = "10.0.0.23",445
def Test(host):
    s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM)
    s.connect(host)  
    s.settimeout(30) 
    string ="Test"
    s.send(string)
    data = s.recv(2048)
    StringToStore = data[0:5]#Important: Values returned are random.
    return StringToStore

def ListIncrement(T):
    for x in range(5):  
        ListStr = Test(host)
    ListValue = list(ListStr)
    return ListValue

Testing = ListIncrement(Test)
print "Testing if ListIncrement returned a list of 5 differents strings :", Testing

This is clearly not working for some reasons i can’t figure, but what I would like ListIncrement(T) to return is an array like this :

['1234','4321','3214','2314','4322']

Thanks much in advance !

You probably meant to do something like:

    ListValue = []
    for x in range(5):  
        ListValue.append(Test(host))
    return ListValue

This could also be done as a list comprehension:

return [Test(host) for x in range(5)]
