The "Network" script gives a parse error

[jussi-kalliokoski]

Selecting the Network menu in the script selection screen gives me an error:

Parse error: End of input at character 0 of 

I suppose the script is giving an empty response, probably because of something missing on my platform. A more useful error message might be good.

It is an executable Python script, so you must have Python to use it (I provided scripts in different languages to show that any language is fine). It also requires the netifaces Python lib, but there should be an explicit message telling you to install it. If you already have Python and netifaces, try running the script directly from command line, and pasting the result here, that would help me fix the script.

It seems that the script is using python 2 syntax, but is referring to just python as its environment, which on my system (Arch Linux) refers to python 3:

  File "network", line 5
    print '{ "version": 1, "title": "Network", "type":"status", "status":"error", "message":"Please install the netifaces Python module to use this script" }'
                                                                                                                                                             ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Would be nice if pilot-ssh could on non-zero exit code and empty stdout give the stderr as the error message. :)

Ok, so maybe I should set directly the expected Python version, or make the code compatible.

Showing stderr is a very good idea, I'll create a new issue for that.
