[Richie20]

Hi Everyone 

I am new to Cisco ISE  with python and  I would like to create ISE Internal User with python script

import requests
import json
import argparse
import ssl
import urllib3

urllib3.disable_warnings(urllib3.exceptions.InsecureRequestWarning)

url = "https://192.168.10.18/ers/config/internaluser"

#Input Parameter
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
subparser = parser.add_subparsers(dest='command')
login = subparser.add_parser('login')
register = subparser.add_parser('register')
login.add_argument('--name', type=str, required=True)
login.add_argument('--password', type=str, required=True)
register.add_argument('--firstname', type=str, required=True)
register.add_argument('--lastname', type=str, required=True)
register.add_argument('--username', type=str, required=True)
register.add_argument('--email', type=str, required=True)
register.add_argument('--password', type=str, required=True)
register.add_argument('--identityGroups', type=str, required=True)
register.add_argument('--expiryeDate', type=str, required=True)
register.add_argument('--enablePasword', type=str, required=True)

args = parser.parse_args()
if args.command == 'login':
print('Logging in with username:', args.username,
'and password:', args.password)
elif args.command == 'register':
print('Creating username', args.username,
'for new member', args.firstname, args.lastname,
'with email:', args.email,
'with identityGroups:', args.identityGroups,
'with expiryDate:', args.identityGroups,
'and enablePassowrd:', args.enablePassword,

conn.request("POST", "/ers/config/guestuser/", headers=headers, body=req_body_json)

res = conn.getresponse()
data = res.read()

print("req_body_json")

this is my error

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Any suggestions are welcome to improve this code  for Cisco ISE to

You error has to do with basic Python syntax and not ISE APIs. Consider using a free development environment like Atom, Sublime or VSCode to catch Python syntax issues.

When pasting your code, please use Preformatted text when pasting your code in the community post so we read it.

Python is extremely sensitive to tabs/spaces used for indentation to declare scope.

And it's a lot easier for you and everyone here to catch syntax errors.

The only obvious things I can see is

1) you need to keep the """ on it's own line

"""
S.format(name,description,firstname,lastname,identityGroups,expirydate,enablePassword)

2) you are trying to format the undefined variable S above but the actual string you want to format is req_body_json
