Issue with examples on a mac - I incorrectly attached this issue to the Raspberry Pi issue - Please ignore that one

[JL1946]

I am getting the following error while using iPython (Python 3.6.3 (v3.6.3:2c5fed86e0, Oct 3 2017, 00:32:08)) in a terminal window on a mac running Sierra and implementing the following example:

For convenience, we also allow you to index the dictionary with the special value 'default', which returns a dictionary mapping address families to the default gateway in each case. Thus you can get the default IPv4 gateway with

gws = netifaces.gateways() gws['default'][netifaces.AF_INET] ('10.0.1.1', 'en0')

---

The results from this test - I tried replacing "[]" with "()" in different combinations but get errors as follows:

In [15]: gws=netifaces.gateways In [16]: gws['default'][netifaces.AF_INET]

TypeError Traceback (most recent call last) in () ----> 1 gws['default'][netifaces.AF_INET]

Is there a solution to this issue?
