So I am fairly confident I narrowed down the issue. It would seem that if I install any of the other meraki modules it will cause errors. For example, if I start a project and only install meraki, it will work. However, if I also install merakiapi, it will error out. Maybe there is a confliction.
Now that I have a better understanding of the API, I can rephrase what I am looking for.
1) I want a list of all the VLANs currently in use on the network.
2) I want a list of all hosts and their mac/ips that are getting an ip from the dhcp server that is running on our meraki ms425. The end goal here is to migrate off of meraki dhcp and onto windows server dhcp. However, in order to do that we would need a csv of { hostname, mac, ip ( and any other information meraki could provide if possible ( ie dns, gateway, etc) }. Powershell can take care of the rest.
Here is the updated script for anyone that would like it
import meraki as mer
from pprint import pprint as pp
import csv
