I'm having trouble using the tcms_api to communicate with the API to our Kiwi deployment.
- My host: Windows 10
- Our Kiwi host: Docker containers running on CentOS
- Kiwi version: 7.3
Trying to execute this script (test_kiwi_api.py), taken from an example found somewhere online:
import tcms_api
rpc_client = tcms_api.TCMS().exec
for test_case in rpc_client.exec.TestCase.filter({'pk': 46490}):
print(test_case)
After following the steps at tcms-api 5.3 package incompatible with Windows for changing to kerberos-sspi (and installing Kerberos for Windows and the kerberos-sspi python package), encountered this error:
C:\kiwi\api>.\test_kiwi_api.py
Traceback (most recent call last):

import kerberos as k
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'kerberos'
After editing xmlrpc.py directly so that it uses kerberos-sspi instead of kerberos
done by changing:
import kerberos
to:
try:
import kerberos as k
except:
import kerberos_sspi as k
... and changing later kerberos references to k references

I have looked into just writing a node.js API interface (since most dev here is done in node and it would be nice to have dev help if needed), but a little research shows that their kerberos package relies on Python, so I'm pretty sure I'd run into this problem there as well. If I could write that (node.js tcms_api interface) but connect using something other than kerberos, I'd try it, and share it if I can get it to work.
Edit: Here's my config file (which, on Windows, goes in C:\etc)
[tcms]
url = https://qaportal01.irvl.mymbnet.com/xml-rpc/
username = rfeldman
password = <not shown>
use_mod_kerb = False
