[Python] Accessing Office365 Sharepoint REST EndPoints using Python (Office365 Sharepoint REST...

I am trying to get access to a Sharepoint site from Python and it seems like AADSTS has a conditional access policy that’s preventing me from getting a token.

Has anyone used the Office365 Python Rest Client to successful connect to a Sharepoint Rest Endpoint?

This is the actual error I am seeing

"C:\Python\envs\dev\python.exe c:\Users\xxxxxx.vscode\extensions\ms-python.python-2020.8.105369\pythonFiles\lib\python\debugpy\launcher 52801 -- c:\xxxx\Code\PythonSharepointUpdate\readsharepoint.py " An error occurred while retrieving token from XML response: AADSTS53003: Access has been blocked by Conditional Access policies. The access policy does not allow token issuance. An error occurred while retrieving auth cookies from https://microsoft.sharepoint.com/_vti_bin/idcrl.svc/

from office365.runtime.auth.user_credential import UserCredential
from office365.sharepoint.client_context import ClientContext
from office365.runtime.auth.authentication_context import AuthenticationContext
site_url = 'https://microsoft.sharepoint.com/teams/'
ctx = ClientContext(site_url).with_credentials(UserCredential("user@domain.com", "My Complex Password”))
web = ctx.web
ctx.load(web)
ctx.execute_query()
print("Web title: {0}".format(web.properties['Title']))


Also – is there a better way to authenticate to Sharepoint – I hate to have to type my Password in clear text in code ☹

Has anyone use ClientCredential? Is there a seperate setup on the Sharepoint Site to enable ClientCredential? Does our Sharepoint let us do that?
