How to to request Action with parameters by Python in an NSO action

We want to call an action with parameters by Python in an NSO action, There is an maapi.requestAction(parms,"url") in Java, like : maapi.requestAction(params, "/ncs:devices/ncs:partial-sync-from")
Do we have an similarity method in Python? It's would be really appreciate for your idea.

There are two options:

1. You have a _ncs.maapi.request_action call, there is an example in

./service-provider/mpls-vpn-layered-service-architecture/create-vpn.py

2. With maagic you can call actions directly on on the objects, if you have a device node dev you can simply do:

r = dev.sync_from()

Hi, I was looking for syntax for partial sync_from in maagic, couldn't figure out so far. Does anyone have it handy?
Thanks
