Add a get_host_by_attrs method #2
Conversation
Returns a list of hosts with the matching attribute Almost identical to get_host_by_extattrs but doesn't insert the "*" to reference extensible attributes. Can be used to query based on extattrs by inserting the "*" manually, or just use get_host_by_attrs.
Add "get_host_by_attrs" to doc message in class Infoblox

Perhaps better way to handle requests like this is to add regexp support in get_host method. To: Infoblox-Development/Infoblox-API-Python Infoblox-API-Python@noreply.github.com I needed a method to return a list of hosts, very similar to get_host_by_extattrs, but that didn't assume the use of extensible attributes.My immediate use-case was to return a list of hosts which have a name that matches a regular expression.get_host would only return an individual host, so I wanted something to return a list like get_host_by_extattrs, but ...by_extattrs inserted the "*" that made it only usable for extensible attributes.
