NimbostratusI haven't looked at the pycontrol code, but I assume it is somewhat similar to bigsuds. In the initial BIGIP object creation you are not actually creating the ZSI soap client until you call a service. If you add a arbitrary service call inside of your try/except you will get the 401 error you are looking for.
import bigsuds b = bigsuds.BIGIP(hostname = '7.200.68.5', username='admin', password='this is wrong') """ This will return a BIGIP Object """ print b """This will error due to an invalid password """ try: print b.LocalLB.Pool.get_list() except bigsuds.ConnectionError: raise
