Error when running a python script - invalid syntax

Question

I keep getting this error when running a python script

sudo python net-creds.py
  File "net-creds.py", line 75
    ipr = Popen([‘/usr/local/bin/ip’, 'route'], stdout=PIPE, stderr=DN)
                 ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

what are you doing with the output? If you want to store the output you can use check_output: c = check_output(["ip","route"]) — Padraic Cunningham

You are using " ` " instead of '.So try this

ipr = Popen(['/usr/local/bin/ip', 'route'], stdout=PIPE, stderr=DN)

To clarify: the invalid version has "smart quotes." The valid version has ordinary "dumb quotes."
