I tried it out and got an error
For the simple test, I placed a key file under/var/config/rest/downloads/mynew_key.key and then made the following call from Windows IDLE(3.6.2):
from f5.bigip import ManagementRoot
import requests
import sys
import os

Then I got the following error.
Traceback (most recent call last):
