That solution would be quite wrong. This is probably a duplicate of #32, which isn't really solvable. Which NetworkManager version are you using?

Hey, thanks for getting back to me. Yeah it's definitely the same issue. nmcli -v says the version = 0.9.10.0, but the newer versions of Network Manager aren't available from the Debian package repo unfortunately. So I'd like my program to support the current default package. What do you think is the best way to handle the missing key? Just skip that entry maybe, or skip it and print a warning?

Those entries seem pretty non-critical. The approach of "do something decently reasonable and print a warning" is how a lot of Python packages (e.g. numpy) warn you that you're using deprecated behavior. Should I change my PR to do that?

Those entries are entirely critical, without them you can't handle signals...

The current behavior of crashing the Python interpreter also removes my ability to handle signals.

The other option I can think of is to throw a catchable exception at the end of the import, to warn of the missing functionality. That's just a thought though. What do you think is the correct workaround on distros with older network manager versions?

Try 522658b

Thanks for working on it. I just tested. That fixed one KeyError, but there's also a KeyError: 'name' from line 237:

I think a similar code change to line 237 should fix the problem.

Thanks, I just tested and that fixed it. I'm happy closing this PR when you are.
