Hi Dash,
I tried to do the following for my connection template.py:
#####dependencies#####
from dronekit import connect, VehicleMode, LocationGlobalRelative, APIException
import time
import socket
#import exceptions
import math
import argparse######functions######
def connectMyCopter():
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description=‘commands’)
parser.add_argument(‘–connect’)
args = parser.parse_args()connection_string = args.connect
if not connection_string:
import dronekit_sitl
sitl = dronekit_sitl.start_default()
connection_string = sitl.connection_string()vehicle = connect(connection_string, wait_ready=True)
return vehicle
vehicle = connectMyCopter()
The script runs without error. However, in the terminal that i run the python script I didnt get the same vehicle returned like the video show (>>APM:copter v xxx >>frame : QUAD). Instead, all i got is this one (which i assume shows that the SITL has started)

If i run the SITL drone separately and specify the IP address in the arguments, this is what i got :
are you experiencing the same issue as well? or is this to be expected when you’re using python 3? thanks in advance
