Get a Specific Server from an arcgis.gis.server.ServerManager

NathanHeickLACSD

I'm trying to learn the ArcGIS API for Python and get used to this pattern of iterating over lists to get the resource you want.  I just don't see in the documentation how you would use the list method to list the servers from a ServerManager object and select one of them specifically.  If I had multiple servers, how would I use the URL to select a server from the list.  I don't like the answer just list them in a Jupyter notebook and choose which one you need.  I'm going to be putting this in a script and I also don't like the idea of just hardcoding the index either.  I don't trust that the order will always be the same in the future.

I can see all the arguments for the class constructor, but I don't see much in general for class attributes.

did you consider to pass in the server URL you're after to select out the server, e.g: 

def get_server(url)
    portal_url="https://spt.gis.com/arcgis"
    portal_username="portaladmin"
    portal_password="adminpassword"
    gis = GIS(portal_url, portal_username, portal_password,verify_cert=False)

    my_servers =gis.admin.servers.list()
    for server in my_servers: 
        print(server.url)
    
        if server.url==url:
            print("hi,we're here")
