Useful Python Libraries for Network Engineers
summary
Live demos show converting XML/JSON/YAML/CSV to Python dicts with xmltodict and json/yaml libraries, editing an interface IP and reserializing back to native format; RESTCONF calls via requests and NETCONF via ncclient retrieve the same interface data; CLI scraping with netmiko plus regex extracts name and IP; PySNMP performs an SNMP get; an Ansible playbook successfully pushes config; VIRL utils brings up the lab topology and pyATS runs automated network tests.
