Can't add security profile

[luqasz]

Does python allow variables or keywords to have - in them ?

[gil-obradors]

Hyphen is used as the subtraction operator, impossible to pass as kwargs

[trojek]

Is there any way to bypass this issue ?

I tried

security_profiles.add(**{authentication-types ='wpa-psk, wpa2-psk',
             eap-methods='',
             management-protection='allowed',
             mode='dynamic-keys',
             name='name',
             supplicant-identity='',
             wpa-pre-shared-key='pass',
             wpa2-pre-shared-key='pass'
})

based on https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24121279/python-keyword-arguments-with-hyphen but I get an error:

                                                  ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

You have add SyntaxError

I don't know if it will work, but as Python basics.

try:

security_profiles.add(**{'authentication-types' : 'wpa-psk, wpa2-psk',
             'eap-methods' : '',
             'management-protection' : 'allowed',
...

Its common pass a dict instead of kwargs, if there's problems of syntaxis like that.
...but api must be compatible

@trojek If impossible to call add method as a dict like update... you can do a trick:

can you add a security profile only with a name ?
Then....update this new entry with dict like documentation

Solution provied by @gil-obradors works.

I don't know if it will work, but as Python basics.

try:

             'eap-methods' : '',
             'management-protection' : 'allowed',
