Error: awk: cmd. line:1: Unexpected end of string

CAP 33

I want to write down the temperature from the DS18B20 sensor in the variable temp. I'm using the module os.popen, but I get an error awk: cmd. line:1: Unexpected end of string.

import os

temp = os.popen('''awk -F= '/t=/ {printf "%.03f\n", $2/1000}' /sys/devices/w1_bus_master1/28-0000053f7e76/w1_slave ''').readline()

print(temp)

Here are a few ideas/questions. As I'm not a popen() expert I am admittedly grasping at straws a little here. However it may help you think through the problem.

Is the displayed the entire program file? It doesn't have a line #1 that invokes the proper interpreter.

I was going to check one of my systems for the presence of file /sys/devices/w1_bus_master1/28-0000053f7e76/w1_slave. Unfortunately all three of my devices that were on line a bit ago have gone away and I am remote from them. Check to make sure the file exists.

The final readline() method call may be a clue. Everything inside the popen() call is a single mandated parameter. There are optional parameters (https://www.tutorialspoint.com/python/os_popen.htm). One of the optional parameters can specify the use of line buffering. Perhaps you need to specify this parameter.

take care!

I do not know how right this is, but it works:

import os

def temp(temp):
	
	temp = os.popen('cat /sys/devices/w1_bus_master1/28-0000053f7e76/w1_slave').readlines()
	
	temp = temp[1]
	
	temp = temp[29:34]
	
	temp = int(temp)
	
	temp = round(temp / 1000, 1)

        print('Temperature :', temp)

temp(temp)

Just for some reason, rounding does not work
