And you haven't told us what the "error" you're posting about is?

When I ran the code I got the following result:

00:16:3e:21:da:a4
00:16:3e:57:be:d2
00:16:3e:6b:e5:ae
00:16:3e:54:0e:f0
00:16:3e:57:5e:50
00:16:3e:21:99:6b
00:16:3e:12:e6:05
00:16:3e:53:02:6d
00:16:3e:79:17:1b
00:16:3e:02:ff:b8
00:16:3e:4e:ff:0d

Observation: No point in declaring mac1 as global in the global scope.

Is it possible that you've tried to run python 2.x code on python 3.x and 
hit an error due to 'print x' -> 'print(x)'?
