Netconf in Python script

Hello,

I am getting following error while trying to use the filter for netconf in Python. Please help to make corrections:

m = manager.connect(host="sandbox-iosxe-latest-1.cisco.com", port=830, username="developer", password="C1sco12345", hostkey_verify=False)
m.connected
True
loop777 = m.get_config("running")
filt_lo777 = """
<filter>
<interfaces xmlns="http://openconfig.net/yang/interfaces">
<interface>
<name>Loopback777</name>
</interface>
</interfaces>
</filter>
"""
loopb_777 = m.get_config("running", filt_lo777)
Traceback (most recent call last):

@sqambera i get this error on the sandbox too, switch your hostname to the other XE always-on sandbox and run this again.

with manager.connect(host = "sandbox-iosxe-recomm-1.cisco.com",
                     port = 830,
                     username = "developer",
                     password = "C1sco12345",
                     hostkey_verify = False) as m:
