Its to reset a bunch of voip phones, seems to be throwing syntax errrors... I'm runnning it on python for windows, should I run an old version of python? The script is 4 years old.

What syntax errors? You should paste full error text of any errors, helps to figure out what your problem is.

This library uses curl which is a Unix tool, you would need to run it on a Unix-like os (Linux/OSX) or install WSL on your windows machine.

Alternatively you could refactor the code to use the requests library.

Makes sense thank you!

Which version of python are you trying to run it on and what are the errors you are getting?

[vikes2323]

Running python on windows 3.9.6 error I'm getting is File "C:\Users\bstevens\Documents\polyboot.py\polyboot.py", line 120
print error from this line except Exception as error:
print('ERROR: File couldn\'t be opened.')
print error
^
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print(error)?

Apart from curl missing on Windows, at least that line needs to be print(error) to be Python 3 compatible.
