How to do post in maas-api with version 1.8.2
Get is working fine. When i try to get the details from the api, it got success. But in case of user and other post it is notworking.

I tried with SSh key it seems working with the following code

sshKeys = {"key": [keyValue]}
#Creating the sshkey
maas_access.post(u"account/prefs/sshkeys/", "new", **sshKeys)

But in case of user, zones etc seems not working.

from apiclient import maas_client
maas_access = maas_client.MAASClient(maas_client.MAASOAuth(*APIKEY.split(":")), maas_client.MAASDispatcher(), MAAS_URL)
keyAndData = {"name": "defaulttest", "description": "test"}
maas_access.post(u"zones/", 'new', **keyAndData)
