Trouble connecting to API from Python (Basic Auth)

In my python

 

response = requests . get ( ' https://server/api/v1/clients ' , verify = False , auth =( creds . AVAMARUSER , creds . AVAMARPASS ))

 

Response:

 

{"error":"unauthorized","error_description":"Full authentication is required to access this resource"}

I can use the same creds in the swagger no issue....I have to set it to 'request body' but it doess aauthenticate and let me play with the endppoints.
