Using python SDK to create host

Hello,

I am trying to write a script to create a host using the python sdk, but i keep coming across this weird issue.

When i have a list of ip address, and the loop through the list and try to create the host objects like this

api_client.api_call("add-host", {"name": host_name, "ip-address": host_ip})

host_ip being the variable i am using to store the ip address in my loop

I get the following error:

message: Invalid parameter for [ip-address]. Not a valid IPv4 or IPv6 address
code: generic_err_invalid_parameter

But i take one of the ip address that i get an error with and put it in manually like this

api_client.api_call("add-host", {"name": host_name, "ip-address": "1.1.1.1"})

it works perfect, no errors

I tried stripping the data from any extra spaces and converting to string, but still getting the same error.

Any one else ever come across this before?

When you print that variable, what does it show?
The error suggests the variable value is corrupt or in thr wrong format.
