Trying to create a region definition via pycontrol

I’m trying to write some pycontrol code to create a region on a 10.1.0 GTM, I can’t seem to get the create() statement correct. I’m trying to create a region entry like this:

 

 

region {

 

name "test-region"

 

state."US/Alabama"

 

state.”US/Wyoming”

 

state.”US/Colorado”

 

state.”US/Nebraska”

 

state.”US/Nevada”

 

}

 

 

Either pycontrol 1 or 2 would be helpful, I've been trying to use:

 

 

d.create(

 

regions = ['my_region'],

 

items = ['US/California','US/Washington'],

 

)

 

 

But this appears to be incorrect. Any help would be most appreciated!

    Here's a working sample. 

        
 import pycontrol.pycontrol as pc 
 b = pc.BIGIP(hostname = '10.100.100.245', username='admin', password='admin', fromurl=True, wsdls=['GlobalLB.Region']) 
 reg = b.GlobalLB.Region 
  
  Create regions 
 regions = ['US/Alabama','US/Colorado','US/Nebraska','US/Nevada','US/Wyoming'] 
  
 reg_list = [] 
  
  Create region item type, append to reg_list 
 for x in range(1,6): 
     x = reg.typefactory.create('GlobalLB.Region.RegionItem') 
     x.type = 'REGION_TYPE_STATE' 
     x.negate = False 
     reg_list.append(x) 
  
  Bind the regions to the 'content' attribute 
 for index,region in enumerate(regions): 
     reg_list[index].content = region 
  
  create the sequence type 
 reg_seq = reg.typefactory.create('GlobalLB.Region.RegionItemSequence') 
 reg_seq.item = reg_list 
  
  create the region definition type 
 region_def = reg.typefactory.create('GlobalLB.Region.RegionDefinition') 
 region_def.name = 'myTestRegion-3' 
 region_def.db_type = 'REGION_TYPE_USER_DEFINED' 
  
  Create! 
 reg.create(regions = [region_def], items = [reg_seq])
