NameError: global name 'NXAPI' is not define

[rdrash]

When I try to run the example script I get the following error.
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\pycsco-0.3.0-py2.7.egg\pycsco\nxos\device.py", line 61, in init
self.sw1 = NXAPI
NameError: global name 'NXAPI' is not defined

I've tried a couple of fixes, but not being a python expert I'm stuck.

Can you paste what you are trying too including import statements, etc. ?

Here is the script I'm trying to run.
import xmltodict
import json
from pycsco.nxos.device import Device
from pycsco.nxos.utils.nxapi_lib import get_list_of_vlans

switch = Device(ip='rdc-mdf-rsw21',username='##############',password='####################')

get_sh_ver = switch.show('show version')

sh_ver_dict = xmltodict.parse(get_sh_ver[1])

print json.dumps(sh_ver_dict, indent=4)

Can you please post everything with the error so I can see the full workflow? So, please post the exact code you are using along with the error. How did you install pycsco? What OS are you using?

get_sh_ver = switch.show('show version')

this returns a tuple of 2 xml objects. the first is headers, etc. and the second is the data we want

sh_ver_dict = xmltodict.parse(get_sh_ver[1])

converting the second element to a python dictionary

print json.dumps(sh_ver_dict, indent=4)

I'm running win7. I used easy_install do to my companies firewall policy.
Here is the full script and the output. username and password has been altered for obvious reasons.
author = 'aaaaaaa'

import xmltodict
import json
from pycsco.nxos.device import Device
switch = Device(ip='rdc-mdf-rsw21',username='aaaaaaaaa',password='aaaaaaaa')
get_sh_ver = switch.show('show version')
sh_ver_dict = xmltodict.parse(get_sh_ver[1])
print json.dumps(sh_ver_dict, indent=4)

So, you should install this via pip or clone the repo and install from source (on linux it's sudo python setup.py install). Don't use easy_install. We've never installed pycsco via easy_install (not sure it should work to be honest). Have also not tested on windows, but that should not be a problem.

I get the same error but I think I narrowed it down to the yaml library not being installed. If I install PyYAML it works fine but if I uninstall it I get:
