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

Question

session = create_rest_session('10.192.70.16')&nbsp;
print session.tmos_version&nbsp;
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.&nbsp;

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'

&gt;&gt;&gt; from f5.bigip import ManagementRoot
&gt;&gt;&gt; mgmt = ManagementRoot('xx.xx.xx.xx', 'admin', 'xxx')
&gt;&gt;&gt; ver = mgmt.tm.sys.version.load()
&gt;&gt;&gt; print ver.raw
