How do I retrieve all the BIG-IP version details using F5-SDK?

session = create_rest_session('10.192.70.16')

 

print session.tmos_version

 

This gives me the version currently running on the bigip. But what if i want all the details mentioned in the icontrol rest api https://10.192.70.16/mgmt/tm/sys/version. I want to get all the details given in the response of this rest api like build, product, edition, project, title, version etc using f5-sdk.

    If you are after the output of 

    tmsh show sys version
    (or iControl REST endpoint 
    /mgmt/tm/sys/version
    ), the feature became available from the latest version. See F5Networks/f5-common-python Github.

    [root@centos ~] grep version /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/f5/__init__.py
__version__ = '3.0.10'
