Incompatibilty of PRET on Kali Linux and Python3

[thomsoe]

Hi everybody!
So I clone PRET on my Kali Linux and I obviously get this error because Python 2 has been removed of Kali but it will mess the execution of PRET :
python -m pip install colorama pysnmP
/usr/bin/python: No module named pip

So when I start ./pret.py, I get :
./pret.py
Please install the 'colorama' module for color support.
Please install the 'pysnmp' module for SNMP support.
usage: pret.py [-h] [-s] [-q] [-d] [-i file] [-o file] target {ps,pjl,pcl}
pret.py: error: too few arguments

So I try with Python 3 and get these following errors (because it's not written to work with Python 2 ig) :
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./pret.py", line 8, in
from discovery import discovery
File "/home/thoms/Bureau/AdventOfCyber/PRET/PRET/discovery.py", line 7, in
from helper import output, conv
File "/home/thoms/Bureau/AdventOfCyber/PRET/PRET/helper.py", line 130
def discover(self, (ipaddr, (device, uptime, status, prstat))):
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax`

How can I make PRET fully functionnal??

PS : when I use "python3 -m pip install colorama pysnmP", I get this :
python3 -m pip install colorama pysnmP
Requirement already satisfied: colorama in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages (0.4.3)
Requirement already satisfied: pysnmP in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages (4.4.6)

Hi,

I couldn't find a simple solution to having multiple interpreters, so I made a Docker solution and posted the repo a few hours ago.

Okay thanks, I'll test it but I really want to know how to make it fully functionnal without a docker. If a distribution like Kali has python2 disabled it means that we can't use PRET....

Understandable. It's possible by changing the $PATH environments or by using a dedicated environment manager like Anaconda, although my experience in that is limited.

Install python2 ...

same issue for windows. Except for colorama, everything is fine from it:

D:\Python\PRET\pret.py:55: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\|'
  print("  |-||/_____\||-.  | |´         dumpster diving obsolete‥ 」       ")
Please install the 'pysnmp' module for SNMP support.

usage: pret.py [-h] [-s] [-q] [-d] [-i file] [-o file] target {ps,pjl,pcl}
pret.py: error: the following arguments are required: target, mode

However, if you specify the command in full, along the lines of python pret.py 1.1.1.1 pjl, it's fine (I haven't tested this on a really real IP of a real network printer, though)
