Issue running your HTTP example listener on CentOS

[aidden-laoch]

There appears to be some syntax issues effecting usability on python 2.7.5 in CentOS and python 2.7.12 in Ubuntu 16.04 Server. I get this on CentOS:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "native.py", line 19, in

SyntaxError: unqualified exec is not allowed in function 'meterpreter_stage' it is a nested function

and I get this on Ubuntu 16.04 Server with python 2.7.12 when the agent connects:

I would like to use this module you have built but it appears to suffer from some python version support problems. I would write some patches but this is a little more complex then most modules and the documentation has some differences from both what is PIP installable and GIT clone installable. For example you talk about covertpreter but that doesnt seem to exist in the repo or module code. I may just be blind though. Thank you for your hard work. I just dont want it to go to waste when I see such potential to better the infosec industry. Thanks again in advance.
