Attributeerror: module object has no attribute getuid

[MrAmbiG]

• deployed nsot on kubernetes
• python 2.7.9 installed and working
• installed nsot python api with pip
• Ran nsot networks list
• It asked to create nsot conf file and told me to choose between 2 types of authentication
• I chose auth_token and filled out the details as shown in the screenshot
• I chose the other auth_header option and filled out the details
• In both cases on windows/linux machines I got the same error.
  Authentication process aka the conf file creation fails + cli commands fail for the same reason.

C:\Users<username>.pynsotrc not found; would you like to create it? [Y/n]: Y

Oof, at least in what you pasted here, you're running native on Windows, which is not currently a supported platform. Only UNIX-variant operating systems are supported right now. (See: https://nsot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html#platform-specific-installation-instructions)

You said you tried Linux. Can you please give it another shot and report back with specifics if you run into any issues? Thanks!
