I don't know the Python API but looks like you are after tmsh show sys failover. e.g.,

 

 tmsh show sys failover
Failover active for 2d 03:22:15

 

If that's the case, try the following curl command to test if it actually works with the address, userID and password you specified in the code.

 

curl -sku user:passwd https://host/mgmt/tm/sys/failover

 

Example output (formatted nicely using | python -m json.tool)

 

{
    "apiRawValues": {
        "apiAnonymous": "Failover active for 2d 03:24:19\n"
    },
    "kind": "tm:sys:failover:failoverstats",
    "selfLink": "https://localhost/mgmt/tm/sys/failover?ver=12.1.2"
}
