That's not an error message. You asked Python to print it out, and it
printed it out. As it happens, the display isn't particularly useful,
but it's not an error.

What you have is a *generator object*, which is something you can
iterate over. I don't know about the arista library, so I don't know
what you'll get from that, but at its simplest, you could convert that
to a list:

print(list(sw_report))
