All I want to do is return what current network location I am using on my mac. Every time I run it, it gives me back a 0. I don't know what I am doing wrong so here is my code. I really hope some one can help me. This script is unique to MACS btw.

Your last line here looks wrong. Is this really the code you're using?
This code will crash with a TypeError, because you're trying to call a
string.

Copy and paste your actual code, don't re-type it :)
