While change to netmiko_huawei works.
[genericswitch:switchce5800]
device_type = netmiko_huawei
username = xxx
password = xxx

Hi, Zachary

The fix is just merged and may not appeared in openstack.
You can apply the patch manually
https://github.com/ktbyers/netmiko/pull/678/commits/71a5f1bf83bc886f9f18024b724fce0a3fa30309

Or use this workaround, which is simpler.
