Hi Martin, Thanks for the detailed reply. I edited, saved and opened the file again. Still I am getting exactly the same error.
Putting bigger chunk of code and the error again: # create socket s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET) #create a SSL context with the recommended security settings for client sockets, including automatic certificate verification: context = ssl.create_default_context() # Alternatively, a customized context could be created: #context = ssl.SSLContext(ssl.PROTOCOL_SSLv23) #context.verify_mode = ssl.CERT_REQUIRED #context.check_hostname = True # Load a set of default CA certificates from default locations #context.load_default_certs() ssl_sock = context.wrap_socket(s, server_hostname ='firehose.flightaware.com ') print("Connecting...") ssl_sock.connect(('firehose.flightaware.com', 1501)) print("Connection succeeded") # send initialization command to server: ssl_sock.write(bytes(initiation_command, 'UTF-8')) # return a file object associated with the socket file = ssl_sock.makefile('r') # use "while True" for no limit in messages received count = 10 while (count > 0): try : # read line from file: print(file.readline()) # parse parse_json(file.readline()) count = count - 1 except socket.error as e: print('Connection fail', e) print(traceback.format_exc()) # wait for user input to end # input("\n Press Enter to exit..."); # close the SSLSocket, will also close the underlying socket ssl_sock.close() ---------- Error: except socket.error as e: ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax TIA.
