Seeking an AWX CLI to begin the effort of migrating AWX from 9.3.0 to something much newer (TBD).

Seems the CLI needs to closely match the API but no luck finding any support matrix.

Have tried so far both latest awxkit (23.1.0) and an older version (3.8.3).

Some commands work (e.g. ping, “organizations list”, “jobs list”) but others (e.g “projects”) fail as follows:

(awxkit) $ awx -v --version  
23.1.0

(awxkit) $ awx -v projects

The older awxkit 3.8.3 yields almost identical results.

The most promising advice I’ve found so far is to install the matching version:

pip3 install --trusted-host [github.com](http://github.com) “[https://github.com/ansible/awx/archive/9.3.0.tar.gz#egg=awxkit&subdirectory=awxkit](https://github.com/ansible/awx/archive/9.3.0.tar.gz#egg=awxkit&subdirectory=awxkit)”

Unable to confirm at this time for reasons beyond my immediate control ☹

So to rephrase: Is there any more current AWX CLI that should be expected to interoperate with AWX 9.3.0 API?

Update: ansible-tower-cli version 3.3.9 is behaving with AWX 9.3.0 (so far so good)
