Here is the Python script I can use the CSV file if you have a bulk of hosts. The CSV file used should be stored in the same directory as the script, and it must be referenced when calling the script like so: python <script.py> <csvfile.csv>. Here is the CSV file I used for the hosts:
name,value,type,description
Host-1,10.0.1.10,host,Host 1
Host-2,10.0.2.10,host,Host 2
