[Spacewalk-list] question regarding spacewalk api system.setCustomValues method

[Yang Li]

This is spacewalk api docutment regarding system.setcustomValues method:

Method: setCustomValues<https://hci-inf-p-spw01.clemson.edu/rhn/apidoc/handlers/SystemHandler.jsp#top>
Description:
Set custom values for the specified server.
Parameters:

  *   string sessionKey
  *   int serverId
  *   struct - Map of custom labels to custom values
     *   string "custom info label"
     *   string "value"

What is correct way to pass Map of custom labels to custom values? I tried following but got an error. Look like it does not like what I passed in for Map of custom labels to custom values. what exactly I should pass to the setCustomValue? Should it be a python dictionary or something else?

junk = {}
junk[“test”] = “value”

client.system.setCustomValues(key, system[“id”], junk)


this is error I got:

    client.system.setCustomValues(key, system["id"], junk)
