Hello I am kind of a new programmer in python and I tryed to do a port scanner.
I have a problem here but I can gigure it out' when I try to compile it it just gets stuck :S

Here is the code

import socket as sk
import sys
import threading

# open file
file = open('results.txt', 'a')

MAX_THREADS = 0

def usage():
    print "\npyScan 0.1"
    print "usage: pyScan <port> [start ip] [end ip] [thread]"

class Scanner(threading.Thread):
    def __init__(self, host, port):
        threading.Thread.__init__(self)
        # host and port
        self.host = host
        self.port = port
        # build up the socket obj
        self.sd = sk.socket(sk.AF_INET, sk.SOCK_STREAM)

    def run(self):
        try:
            # connect to the given host:port
            self.sd.connect((self.host, self.port))
            print "%s:%d OPEN" % (self.host, self.port)
            strScan = str(self.host) + ':' + str(self.port) + '\n'
            file.write(strScan)

            self.sd.close()
        except: pass

class pyScan:
    def __init__(self, args=[]):
        # arguments vector
        self.args = args
        # start ip and end ip
        #self.startip
        #self.stopip
        #port number
        self.port = ""
        # threads
        self.threads = self.args[4]
        MAX_THREADS = int(self.threads)

         #check validity of ips
        ip1 = self.args[2]

This is the one I use.

this scanner does not do what my scanner does
this scanner scans an ip for the ports you enter to it
my scannet takes an area of ip's and scans one port that is open in all of them
i.e
in this area of ip's 0.0.0.0-255.255.255.255 it searches where the port 10000 is open

post a traceback of the error.

Just on first look your main while loop in the scan function isn't right.

Try changing it to:

for i in range(times):
    host = list1[0] + "." + list1[1] + "." + list1[2] + "." + list1[3]

    while threading.activeCount() >= threads:
        time.sleep(.1)

    Scanner(str(host), self.port).start()
    nlist1[3] = ((++nlist1[3]) %256 )
    if nlist1[3] != 0:
        nlist1[2] = ((++nlist1[2]) %256 )
        if nlist1[2] != 0:
            nlist1[1] = ((++nlist1[1]) %256 )
            if nlist1[1] != 0:
                nlist1[0] = ((++nlist1[0]) %256 )
