Hi Kevin,

I'm not sure how to accomplish this with bigsuds but here's the solution with the Python SDK. 

from f5.bigip import ManagementRoot
import urllib3
import requests
from requests.packages.urllib3.exceptions import InsecureRequestWarning
requests.packages.urllib3.disable_warnings(InsecureRequestWarning)

mgmt = ManagementRoot('192.168.1.1', 'admin', 'admin')
dgrp = mgmt.tm.ltm.data_group.internals.get_collection()

for datagroup in dgrp:
    print(datagroup.name)
    for record in datagroup.records:
        print(record)

Hi Kevin,

The exemple above displays all the datagroups and their values. If you want a specific datagroup to display here`s how I was able to achieve it 

from f5.bigip import ManagementRoot
import urllib3
import requests
from requests.packages.urllib3.exceptions import InsecureRequestWarning
requests.packages.urllib3.disable_warnings(InsecureRequestWarning)

mgmt = ManagementRoot('192.168.1.1', 'admin', 'admin')
dgrp = mgmt.tm.ltm.data_group.internals.get_collection()


for datagroup in dgrp:
    if (datagroup.name=='aol'):
        print(datagroup.name)
        print(datagroup.records)

Here`s an exemple of the output:

aol
[{'name': '64.12.96.0/19', 'data': ''}, {'name': '195.93.16.0/20', 'data': ''}, {'name':             
'195.93.48.0/22', 'data': ''}, {'name': '195.93.64.0/19', 'data': ''}, {'name': 
'195.93.96.0/19', 'data': ''}, {'name': '198.81.0.0/22', 'data': ''}, {'name': '198.81.8.0/23', 
'data': ''}, {'name': '198.81.16.0/20', 'data': ''}, {'name': '202.67.65.128/25', 'data': ''}, 
{'name': '205.188.112.0/20', 'data': ''}, {'name': '205.188.146.144/30', 'data': ''}, {'name': 
'205.188.192.0/20', 'data': ''}, {'name': '205.188.208.0/23', 'data': ''}, {'name': 
'207.200.112.0/21', 'data': ''}]
