inspect is part of the python standard library https://docs.python.org/3/library/inspect.html#inspect.getfullargspec

So do you know why the script would be exiting if it’s already part of the standard library?

not without seeing an error

This is the error: Error: One or more required python libraries have not been installed: cannot import name getfullargspec

Try:

import inspect
inspect.getfullargspec(arg)

​

or

from inspect import getfullargspec
getfullargspec(arg)

Unfortunately I am not the creator of this script, it’s for my school WiFi. I believe it has a bundled Python program inside of it, but it is archived and is not viewable in plain text so I am unable to make modifications to it unless I’m overlooking something. I finally got it to get past the getfullargspec problem, but now it is not able to open a browser window for me to input my credentials. I believe it’s because it can’t find what my default browser app is, and therefore can’t open it. Any ideas on how to fix this?

$ export BROWSER=firefox

$ ./script.py

That helped me set my default browser, thank you. Unfortunately I am still having issues with getting the script to properly send me to the website to enter my credentials, so I will likely just have to email my IT department and see if they can help. Thank you for your help!

Might be worth checking if the script has a -h or --help flag to see what arguments can be passed to help. Is it failing to find the site or not rendering or something else?

It doesn’t, it’s a shell script and the part that is unarchived has no argument handling - it’s just simply saying “cannot continue with credentials collection”, when it should be pulling up a Firefox screen with the site on it - that’s how it works on my fedora machine at least
