I finally found the issue. All the *nix forums would suggest upgrading the requests module for python but I am running the server that houses Python 2.7.9 behind a proxy that does not allow the call to PyPi via https so I manually downloaded request-2.5.0 module from PyPi and installed it. The errors were gone after that. All in all, in order to manually install the ncessary F5 SDK you have to install these three:

 

  • f5-sdk-1.0.2
  • f5-icontrol-rest-1.0.7
  • request-2.5.0
