Learning Penetration Testing with Python

Python formatting

This language's greatest selling feature for me is its formatting. It takes very little work to put a script together, and because of its simplistic formatting requirements, you reduce chances of errors.

So, if you are writing a simple print script as mentioned earlier, you are not necessarily going to see this, but if you are writing an if statement, you will. See the following example, which prints the statement previously mentioned here:

#!/usr/bin/env python execute=True ...
