Fix Python 3.12 compatibility: event loop, - #362

JSON encoder, and delete serializer
Three bugs surfaced when running against Python 3.12 with the
redesigned
exception hierarchy (CTERAException is now a plain Exception
subclass,
no longer dict-like):
1. clients.py – execute(): asyncio.get_event_loop() raises
RuntimeError in
Python 3.12 when no event loop is set for the current thread. The
module
already creates a dedicated event_loop at import time; use it
directly
instead of going through asyncio.get_event_loop().
2. serializers.py – Encoder.default(): called o.get('__dict__',
None),
treating the object as a dict. SDK Object instances and Exception
subclasses are not dict-like in the current codebase. Replace
with
getattr(o, '__dict__', None) and an explicit Exception branch
that
returns str(o), so CTERAException subclasses (e.g.
AuthenticationError)
serialize to their message string instead of raising TypeError or
AttributeError.
3. clients.py – Client.delete(): unconditionally called
data_serializer(data)
even when data_serializer is None (the default). Callers such as
XML.delete()
intentionally omit the serializer; guard the call with a None
check.Author

Thank you. Regression introduced as part of: Normally, a delete request doesn't include a body, but it was added to enable deletion of shares via the Portal. |

Discovered via: Using the ctera.ctera Ansible collection (v2.3.9)
against a fresh SDK install on Python 3.12+. The collection is no
longer actively maintained and targets an older SDK version where
CTERAException was dict-like — these bugs are therefore unlikely to
surface through the SDK's own test suite.
Reproduction: Install the Ansible collection, run any portal module
(e.g. ctera_portal_storage_node) on Python 3.12, and observe the
errors in sequence:
'MainThread'
'get'
serializable
operations)
