Hi @MeghnathShinde,

Is there a reason to be running python 2.7.5 (end of life)?

Could you retry with a version 3.2 or higher of python, preferably 3.9+?

See also, https://github.com/CiscoDevNet/ansible-aci/issues/651 for additional information on format_map() function.

Kind regards,

Akini

Hi @MeghnathShinde, were you able to resolve the issue by using a higher python version?

[MeghnathShinde]

Yes Akini, Issue resolved post upgrading python. Thanks for your support.
