(Python) gaierror: [Errno 11004] getaddrinfo failed

Question

from Tkinter import *
import tkMessageBox, socket


root = Tk()
root.title(\"pynet v1.0\")
root.config(bg=\'black\')
root.resizable(0,0)   

text = Text()   
text1 = Tex         


        

Answer 1

My guess is because you are using a hostname that has a trailing newline. At the time I write this answer, your code shows:

def Info():
    targetip = socket.gethostbyname_ex(text1.get("1.0", END))
    text.insert(END, targetip)

When you use the index END you get the extra newline that is added by the text widget. You need to strip that off or use the index "end-1c".
