Dear Cisco,
My goal is to get the Python SDK ("cobra") for your APIC-EM controller running on my windows laptop.
I tried following the instructions here: https://cobra.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting-started.html
I got stuck on the step titled "connecting and authenticating".
Although I cannot provide you with the actual strings I used for my user name and password, I can assure you that these credentials (which I stored in the variables username and password, respectively) are correct, as I was able to log into the web UI on the Controller with these credentials.
Verification that eggs are installed on my laptop:

What do I need to do to make this work?
Thanks,
