Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/proxmoxer/proxmoxer/issues/147

I wrote a bunch of variations trying to get quemu lock status and can't pin down this. I managed to get all subdirs of a vm but never the state of said vm. For instance we have a readme example:

for vm in proxmox.nodes('node').qemu.get():      
print(f"{vm['vmid']}. {vm['name']} => {vm['status']}")

is working but

for vm in proxmox.nodes('node').qemu.get():            
    print(f"{vm['vmid']}. {vm['name']} => {vm['lock']}")

is not

What am I doing wrong?

Python 3.11
Proxmox 8.0.4

Turns out when vm is not locked, vm['lock'] will always throw an error unless it is in any kind of lock state. For example let's take 2 machines: locked VM1 and unlocked VM2

vmStatus = proxmox.nodes('node').qemu('VM1').status.current.get()
print(vmStatus["lock"])

//returns "snapshot" lock status


vmStatus = proxmox.nodes('node').qemu('VM2').status.current.get()
print(vmStatus["lock"])

//throws KeyError: 'lock'
