Check out iCR Python Module for iControl REST. This shows you how to create a VS, it's dead simple. Let me know if you have any issues.
DK_BOSSLooks simple. Do I simply run pip install iCR in F5 bash and proceed. Does this command has any impact.
I am trying to automate objects from the scratch and confused as from where to start ( running python script in f5 bash, or running pip command, or simply installing python sdk).

Just a question but why the Python iCR over the much more established F5 Common Python SDK
The F5 Common Python SDK has a lot of learning resources here on DevCentral, a great starting point is a set of articles by Jason Rahm that can be found here:
-
Getting Started with the f5-common-python SDK
-
Getting started with the python SDK part 2
-
Getting started with the python SDK part 3
-
Getting started with the python SDK part 4
-
Getting started with the python SDK part 5
-
Getting started with the python SDK part 6
And has some ok documentation here F5 Python SDK Documentation
Recommend taking a look and happy Python development

- PeteWhiteYou want to install the iCR module in a separate host on which you do the management of the BIG-P devices - make sure it has Python and PIP installed, then follow the example.
