I am trying to run script to get a subscription created for a user on a workbook.
Script generated new SubscriptionItem object. But upon checking on server, subscription was not created.
Please help if there is any issue in API code put above.
create a new SubscriptionItem object.
newSub = TSC.SubscriptionItem('My Subscription', schedule, user, target)

Seconding this problem, the issue appears to be in the way that the library parses the 'target' argument from SubscriptionItem object. The documentation suggests that we should be passing a tuple "(view_id, view_type)" but this is raising an error when converting over to XML.
<>\tableauserverclient\server\request_factory.py in create_req(self, subscription_item)
431
432 content_element = ET.SubElement(subscription_element, 'content')
--> 433 content_element.attrib['id'] = subscription_item.target.id
434 content_element.attrib['type'] = subscription_item.target.type
435
AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'id'

When creating a new subscription, you should use the provided TSC.Target object, instead of defining your own tuple. That should prevent the above errors.
So instead of this,
target = (workbookid, 'workbook')you should use Target class:
target = TSC.Target(workbookid, 'workbook')Note that there has been a bug with using the Target object, but that has been fixed with #377. The fix is merged into the 'development' branch.
