Error: Python tool for exporting/importing a policy package or parts of it

[Shaimaa]

Hello,

I'm trying to use the Python tool "exporting/importing a policy package"...Python version installed 2.7.14 but I'm having the following error:

Welcome to the Policy Package Import/Export Tool.
What would you like to do?
1. Import a package
2. Export a package
99. Exit

Please enter a Policy Package name to export:

self.self_args.name = input()
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'standard' is not defined

Can anyone help to solve this error?

Try to use 'Standard' with an uppercase s

[Shaimaa]

I did but i have the same error (i used other names like test or other names), it's in the beginning of the execution...before entering the IP addresse of the management server.

I think it's related to the code

I tried for my self an got the same error. It works when Standard is written in quotation marks:

Welcome to the Policy Package Import/Export Tool.
What would you like to do?
1. Import a package
2. Export a package
99. Exit
2
Please enter a Policy Package name to export:
'Standard'
Please select a login method:
1. Enter user credentials manually
2. Login as Root
3. Use an existing session file
4. Use an existing session UID
99. Back

Yes, I confirm that it's working with single quotes but i have to use the quotes for all inputs even the password.

But after entering the password with or without quotes, it exists....:

Please enter your password:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "...\ExportImportPolicyPackage-master\import_expor
t_package.py", line 26, in <module>
args = process_arguments(arg_parser)
File "...\ExportImportPolicyPackage-master\utils.py", l
ine 108, in process_arguments
log_file = open(args.log_file, "w",newline='')
TypeError: 'newline' is an invalid keyword argument for this function

Apparently it dosn't take into account what is written for the password.

I think that the new version has a bug.

I know you wrote, that python2 is installed, but do you have a python3 installed too? The error you are describing comes from python2, from README.md on https://github.com/CheckPointSW/ExportImportPolicyPackage:

"The tool is developed using Python language version 2.7.9 and Check Point API Python SDK. From version 5.0 the tool is developed using Python language version 3.7."

Running it with python3 does not produce any errors.

Yes, the problem was python version and solved by installing python 3714

Thanks a lot.
