How do I insert and view data from Classic Tables using python in MySQL Shell?

How do I insert/view data from classic tables in MySQL shell using python?

In the MySQL manual it says to use these operations.

>db.name.insert()

>db.name.select()


However when I attempt to use the operations I get this error:

>IndexError: unknown attribute: insert.

>IndexError: unknown attribute: select.

Operations such as MyTable = db.get_table('table_1') work fine. The tables are classic tables, which I believe may be apart of the issue. I have tried

>import classic

but received an error saying there was no module named classic

I am using the latest version of MySQL Shell, and version 5.7.18 of MySQLServer
