NimbostratusF5-SDK Error When Attempting to Add Pool Members
I've just started programming with Python (3.6.8) and found the f5-sdk module to be interesting. I've written a script to build nodes, pool members and a virtual server (v13.1.1.4), however while adding pool members to a pool, I receive the following error:
'Traceback (most recent call last):
File "f5_build_sdk.py", line 68, in ltm_build
name=pool[tuple('member')] + ':' + pool[tuple('port')],
TypeError: 'Pool' object is not subscriptable'
The REST api documentation suggests the object it is looking for is an array type, which I believe I have configured as such. I've done some other checking with various resources, but can't seem to find an answer. Below is the code I've written. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Ken R.
In your code; node, pool and virtual server definitions are dictionary in the list. You can remove list. "[ ]"
or...
pool.members_s.members.create( partition='Common', name=pool[0]['member'][0]['name'] + ':' + pool[0]['member'][0]['port'], monitor=pool[0]['monitor'])...can you try above code instead of following?
pool.members_s.members.create( partition='Common', name=pool['member'] + ':' + pool['port'], monitor=pool['monitor'])
Ken_R_eaa,
Thanks for you help. I was able to write the script a little differently and its working the way I was hoping. Below is the script if you're curious...thanks again.
