Hey guys,

I’m new at scripting/coding with python, I am trying to make a script that will automate adding a proxy, proxy whitelist and remove whitelists. 

This is what I have so far, but whenever it runs I get an error of “Error: Argument 'http-proxy' is specified multiple times.” 

import subprocess
import sys
add_whitelists = "ncli http-proxy add-to-whitelist target-type=IPV4_ADDRESS target="
whitelist_Ip = s"192.168.1.1", "200.200.1.1"]
login = "nutanix@192.168.1.50"
add_pxy = "ncli http-proxy add name=NPX5-proxy address=proxy.npx5.local port=8080 proxy-types=HTTPS"
list_proxy = "ncli http-proxy get-whitelist"
#ssh connection
ssh = subprocess.Popen(s"ssh", "-i .ssh/id_rsa", login],
                        stdin =subprocess.PIPE,
                        stdout=subprocess.PIPE,
                        stderr=subprocess.PIPE,
                        universal_newlines=True,
                        bufsize=0)

# Send ssh commands to stdin
ssh.stdin.write(add_pxy)
for ip in whitelist_Ip:
    ssh.stdin.write(add_whitelists + ip)
ssh.stdin.close()
# Fetch output
for line in ssh.stdout:
    print(line.strip())
