Bug in exception handling in save_fingerprint_to_file can cause crash about cp_mgmt_api_python_sdk

Hi @wouterdb,

Can you please explain how did you get this error and how can we reproduce it in our lab?

If you are working only with python 3 you can use the code from pull request #25
later we will publish compatible code that will solve your problem in all python versions.

Regards,
Yael.

Hi @chkp-yaelg,

some context

python version: python 3.6
os: centos 7

We got this error by running this code as part of the deployment agent of the Inmanta orchestrator.

I think this specific error was caused because this code is executed under a system account that has very limited permissions.
It can write to specific folders, but not to the folder it is executed in. As we can not set the path this file is written to, it causes the first error.

If you would create a read-only folder and execute a login call in that folder, you should get the same result.

@edvgui (who made #25) is a collegue of mine, we have applied his patch and it is confirmed to work.

Thanks you for the quick repsonse,
Wouter

@wouterdb and @edvgui Thanks you both for your collaboration.
I used your code and update it to be compatible to both python versions (2 and 3)
This change is available now in release v.1.1.1
