So I think I have solution - I am able to fake an object such that when print is called a shell pops - The only problem being that input takes input as str

>>> type(input())
AAAAA
<class 'str'>
>>>

How am I supposed to put packed addresses in this? Is there a trick I don’t see?

Is your question how to encode your payload or something else? input will read a bytestring that’s utf-8 encoded so you need to encode your payload before you send it over the wire.
