Pynetbox Fork to fix Issue #497

This is a Fork of pynetbox which fixes this issue
by applying the fix @endreszabo suggested in this comment

Python API client library for NetBox.

Note: Version 6.7 and later of the library only supports NetBox 3.3 and above.

Installation
To install run pip install pynetbox.
Alternatively, you can clone the repo and run python setup.py install.
Quick Start
The full pynetbox API is documented on Read the Docs, but the following should be enough to get started using it.
To begin, import pynetbox and instantiate the API.
import pynetbox
nb = pynetbox.api(
'http://localhost:8000',
private_key_file='/path/to/private-key.pem',
token='d6f4e314a5b5fefd164995169f28ae32d987704f'
)

The first argument the .api() method takes is the NetBox URL. There are a handful of named arguments you can provide, but in most cases none are required to simply pull data. In order to write, the token argument should to be provided. To decrypt information from the secrets endpoint either the private_key_file or private_key argument needs to be provided.
Queries
The pynetbox API is setup so that NetBox's apps are attributes of the .api() object, and in turn those apps have attribute representing each endpoint. Each endpoint has a handful of methods available to carry out actions on the endpoint. For example, in order to query all the objects in the devices endpoint you would do the following:
>>> devices = nb.dcim.devices.all()
>>> for device in devices:
... print(device.name)
...
test1-leaf1
test1-leaf2
test1-leaf3
>>>

Threading
pynetbox supports multithreaded calls for .filter() and .all() queries. It is highly recommended you have MAX_PAGE_SIZE in your Netbox install set to anything except 0 or None. The default value of 1000 is usually a good value to use. To enable threading, add threading=True parameter to the .api:
nb = pynetbox.api(
'http://localhost:8000',
threading=True,
)
