Softlayer Object Storage Containers: Unable to find the server

[mrmcmuffinz]

Link to StackOverflow Question here. Problem:

I'm trying to debug some of my code that uses Softlayer Object Storage however I kept getting some errors from SL itself. Since I was getting the error from SL I went ahead and tried writing some code that reproduces the error. Which can be seen below followed by the stack trace I get.

Question:

Does anyone know why I'm getting the below error besides the possible security prevention from spamming sl so many times?

Source Code:

    #!/usr/local/bin/python2.7
    import argparse
    import object_storage

    def main():
        parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description='Spam multiple sl storage containers.')

        parser.add_argument("--username", type=str, required=True, help="softlayer username")
        parser.add_argument("--apikey", type=str, required=True, help="softlayer api key")
        parser.add_argument("--datacenter", type=str, required=True, help="softlayer datacenter")
        parser.add_argument("--count", type=int, required=True, help="Amount of times to iterate")

        args = parser.parse_args()
        username = args.username
        api_key = args.apikey
        datacenter = args.datacenter
        count = args.count

        for i in range(0, count):
            print "Trying to create sl_storage.containers() #{0}".format(i)
            sl_storage = object_storage.get_client(username, api_key, datacenter=datacenter)
            containers = sl_storage.containers()
            del containers
            del sl_storage

    if __name__ == "__main__":
        main()
