How do I use the django-cms Python api to create a page?

I'm trying to write a CMS content migration script that will create our pages for django-cms. However even with the default install of Django-cms, Django-treebeard keeps raising exceptions and it's not clear to me why.

For example, when this line is executed:

api.create_page(title="Hello world",
    language='en',
    parent=None)

My script always fails here (line 307-8) in mp_tree.py (v 4.1.0) from treebeard:

if newobj.pk:
    raise NodeAlreadySaved("Attempted to add a tree node that is "\
                "already in the database")

Does anyone have a very simple example on how to use the cms.api.create_page() method?

http://docs.django-cms.org/en/release-3.4.x/reference/api_references.html?highlight=create_page#cms.api.create_page

So thanks to @dentemm and @paulo I was able to get this running in a Python shell as follows:

>>> from cms import constants
>>> from cms.constants import TEMPLATE_INHERITANCE_MAGIC
>>> from cms import api
>>> api.create_page(title="Hello World4",language='en',template=TEMPLATE_INHERITANCE_MAGIC,parent=None)

<cms.models.pagemodel.Page object at 0x102b674e0>

It was failing because I was not including the 'template' argument and the necessary imports.

I am unsure if it's the cause for your problems, but there is an error in your api.create_page() code above: parent=None shouldn't have spaces.
