socket.gaierror: [Errno 11001] getaddrinfo failed

After doing some slight modifications to the code such that I get it to work, but I get this Error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "send_arp.py", line 195, in
main()
File "send_arp.py", line 177, in main
request_target_mac=bcast_mac)
File "send_arp.py", line 87, in send_arp
sock.bind((device, socket.SOCK_RAW))
File "C:\Anaconda2\lib\socket.py", line 228, in meth
return getattr(self._sock,name)(*args)
socket.gaierror: [Errno 11001] getaddrinfo failed

Thank you very much in advance!

Probably the name doesn't resolve correctly. try adding a print name before line 228 and see what is being passed in.

Yeah I get
