This is more of a basic python question than anything.
Working through the Official Cert Guide for DevNet associate and in chapter 8 example 8-7 for the DNA center SDK I'm running into an issue. When looping through the devices with the (for DEVICE in DEVICES.response:) it is returning 3 additional devices that are not shown in figure 8-10 of chapter 8, with values of None. I can print this without the formatting, but python throws and exception when the formatting is present.
Now I was thinking I could avoid this exception with an additional if clause but for reasons I don't understand as of yet, python doesn't take the final (else:) with a following print statement.
First can someone please explain my error (specifically between lines 14 - 25)? Secondly is this the best method for working through this particular issue or should I just be doing error handling on the formatting exception? Thanks!
