TMSH Command via Python SDK

I was hoping to get some assistance in executing TMSH commands via the Python SDK. From the documentation i can easily execute any BASH command but i'm struggling with TMSH commands.

I need to execute the following including console output.

run /cm config-sync to-group Syncfailover

and slso check the status with

show /cm sync-status

Expected console output for show
CM::Sync Status
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Color green
Status In Sync
Summary
Details
/Common/host1.company.com: connected (for 2548 seconds)
/Common/sync-fail-test (In Sync):
- all 2 devices consistent
/Common/device_trust_group (In Sync):
- all 2 devices consistent

The Documentation doesn't really give a noob like me information for achieving above. They only mention a very simple example in saving a config. ie

mgmt.tm.sys.config.exec_cmd('save')

Hello Rudi.
Here an example to get access to the status object
from f5.bigip import ManagementRoot # ---------------------------------------------------------- session = ManagementRoot("F5_mgmt_IP","username","password",token=True) status = session.tm.cm.sync_status.load() print(status.raw)
In general in SDK there are 3 kind of objects, here is some documentation.

  Thank you very much for the effort Dario! I'm going to try and figure something out with my very limited coding skills.
