The System's set_boot_source_override() doesn't provide any success or error feedback to the user, you can input any string to it and no checks will be performed against the values inputed [0]. The request is then issued by [1] but the status code is never checked. This behavior is very unfriendly and will leave the user with no information about whether the request went thru or not.
Example:
import redfish
obj = redfish.connect('http://127.0.0.1:8000/redfish/v1', user=None, password=None, simulator=True, enforceSSL=False)
system = obj.Systems.systems_dict['437XR1138R2']
ret = system.set_boot_source_override('banana', 'foo')
print(ret) # This will print 'No Content'
[UPDATE]
Just an update, perhaps it should be another bug but... The set_boot_source_override() method doesn't work, python-redfish build the JSON manually by concatenating strings [0], why it doesn't just use a proper JSON library to do that is beyond me (import json).
