Attribute Error

[DiceMann]

I am doing an online course and when i run the program, i get an error message of:

Output:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "vulnerability_scanner.py", line 9, in <module>
    vuln_scanner.session.post("http://10.0.2.4/dvwa/login", data=data_dic)
AttributeError: Scanner instance has no attribute 'session'
root@kali:~/PycharmProjects/vulnerability_scanner# 

Here is a copy of my code..now, im using pycharm so I have two different programs that i have separately coded that work in tandem, if you will so the scanner is here:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import requests
import re
import urlparse


class Scanner:
    def __init__(self, url):
        self.target_url = url
        self.target_links = []
        self.session = requests.Session()

    def extract_links_from(self, url):
        response = self.session.get(url)
        return re.findall('(?:href=")(.*?)"', response.content.decode('utf-8', 'ignore'))

    def crawl(self, url=None):
        if url is None:
            url = self.target_url
        href_links = self.extract_links_from(url)
        for link in href_links:
            link = urlparse.urljoin(url, link)

            if "#" in link:
                link = link.split("#")[0]

            if self.target_url in link and link not in self.target_links:
                self.target_links.append(link)
                print(link)
                self.crawl(link)

And the other program, named vulnerability_scanner is here:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import scanner

target_url = "http://10.0.2.4/dvwa/"
data_dic = {"username": "admin", "password": "password", "Login": "submit"}

vuln_scanner = scanner.Scanner(target_url)
vuln_scanner.session.post("http://10.0.2.4/dvwa/login", data=data_dic)

vuln_scanner.crawl()

(The url is apart of metaslpoitable, a vulnerable operating system by design)

Running the program is the conventional vulnerability_scanner.py and sure enough, I get the error message.


Any and all help, along with formatting my code to whatever you guys ask would be great.

One thing that comes to my mind - you changed scanner.py to include Scanner.session and didn't save the file yet. I don't remember if PyCharm had autosave function. The other - you have more than one scanner.py in different locations and it import a different one than the one you edit and expect to be imported.
