Error when using Import/Export script - not in singular_to_plural_dictionary[client.api_version]

Dear Check Mates,

I recently uploaded the latest version of the following files:-

ExportImportPolicyPackage-master

cp_mgmt_api_python_sdk-master

to my MDSM and when I try to use the import_export_package.py I am getting the following error on a relatively simple policy.

This is the error I get returned:-

Exporting Access Control layers

Exporting Access Layer [TEMPLATE-FWOT001-Policy Network]

Retrieved 14 out of 14 rules (100%)

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/Andrew/Python/ExportImportPolicyPackage-master/import_export_package.py", line 73, in <module>

File "/home/Andrew/Python/ExportImportPolicyPackage-master/exporting/export_package.py", line 44, in export_package

general_object["type"] not in singular_to_plural_dictionary[client.api_version]):
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
KeyError: '2.0.1'

This is the output I get in the import_export.log:-

Checking existence of package [TEMPLATE-FWOT001-Policy]

Exporting Access Control layers

Exporting Access Layer [TEMPLATE-FWOT001-Policy Network]

Getting layer information for layer [TEMPLATE-FWOT001-Policy Network]

Retrieved 14 out of 14 rules (100%)

##Show presented object of type RulebaseAction with name Accept

##Show presented object of type CpmiAnyObject with name Any

##Show presented object of type host with name BROADCAST

I have tried to perform this export with multiple policies and I get the same error message.

Has anybody else seen such behaviour and can suggest a course of action to track down the fault?

Thanks

Andrew
