you need to request these fields explicitly, they are not all included in the return object by default. I'll have to look at how tsc code supports that.

Closing —
server.users.get()now transparently requests all fields, souser_item.emailanduser_item.fullnameare populated without any extra options. Seeusers_endpoint.py:92-94(setsreq_options.all_fields = True) anduser_item.py:391-392(parsesemail/fullNamefrom the response). If you still seeNoneon a current TSC version, please open a fresh issue with the Server version and a minimal repro.
