python-nitro's Issues

Nitro api client timing out

I am trying to use your client to run some commands on my netscaler. Have sourced the login creds from my config file ns.conf

(pywork) ➜  python-nitro git:(master) ./cli.py --config ~/.config/ns.conf get config nsversion
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./cli.py", line 130, in <module>

I also verified against the api reference document to be sure that the call url: /nitro/v1/config/nsversion is indeed correct : https://developer-docs.citrix.com/projects/netscaler-nitro-api/en/12.0/configuration/ns/nsversion/nsversion/#get-all

I am not sure what i might have missed here? Or if it is a python version error?
