Hello folks, imagine I have the code below and I am getting the "error" message
when attempting to print() the output of 'sw_report'.
Can you suggest which method I should use to retrieve this? Is that a
dictionary maybe?
from arista import arista
m = arista()
m.authenticate ("user","password")
sw_report = m.np.sw_report.get("swType="EOS",swMajorVersion="5.0")
print (sw_report)
<generator object arista._result_iterate at 0x7fdb30f0af10>
That's not an error message. You asked Python to print it out, and it
printed it out. As it happens, the display isn't particularly useful,
but it's not an error.
What you have is a *generator object*, which is something you can
iterate over. I don't know about the arista library, so I don't know
what you'll get from that, but at its simplest, you could convert that
to a list:
print(list(sw_report))
Be aware that if you do this, you will exhaust the generator and won't
be able to use it anywhere else.
>>> def foo():
... yield 1
... yield 2
... yield 3
...
>>> l = foo()
>>> print(l)
<generator object foo at 0x7f9010223150>
>>> print(list(l))
[1, 2, 3]
>>> print(list(l))
[]
