Hello,
I think you may have better luck generating the Python code from the SAM application using SAM's code generator than using the sample code that comes with the SDK.
To do that, start SAM, create a case or open a .sam file, and then from the Case menu (click the 'v' in the Case tab), click Generate code and choose Python 3. That should create all the files you need to run SSC from Python.
Best regards,
Paul.
