Dynamic inventory only returning host

I trying to deploy dynamic inventory using the infoblox.yaml and infoblox.py script and I'm getting the hosts listed.  What I need is a way to also get the extensible attributes associated with the host as those would be vars needed for my playbooks.  This is what my static inventory looks like for a single pair of F5 devices.

 

[ILBEL5003_4]
ILBEL5003.conn.site reboot_group=1
ILBEL5004.conn.site reboot_group=2

 

[ILBEL5003_4:vars]
dg_name=ILBEL5003-4_HA
enabled_vlans=Trans-VLAN6

 

So this didn't give me what I wanted so I tried to use the nios_inventory plugin.  This running in Ansible Tower and has yet to produce any hosts in the inventory.  Current error is

I have found little to none in the way of documentation on this plugin and wondering if anyone is actually using Infoblox for dynamic inventory in Ansible Tower.
