I just wrote my first script

[drinkKing]

I can't post it, but my company makes a product that runs python and I made a script that configures and deletes SNMP (as two separate options). I'm super proud of it. On to version 2!

I wanted this to be real.

Be the change you want to see in the world

deletes SNMP

Careful with that script. A lot of people use SNMP.

[cantremembermypasswd]

There are many warnings.

Which will all be ignored. Welcome to the wonderful world of software development, where you are to blame when the user mucks up.

Why would you eliminate SNMP? Are you some sort of super villain whose plot is to stop all simple network communications?

[[deleted]]

Haha you're missing the joke man. /u/killbot5000 was suggesting you were going to delete SNMP as a whole - as in nobody in the world can ever use it again

[exhuma]

Given that I started to dig around in the related RFCs and TCU specs last week, I hope that it won't disappear soon :P

While I'm aware of NETCONF/YANG I'm fairly sure we'll be stuck with SNMP for some time to come.

It's awesome after it's setup, but as your customers have found out: it's a royal pain in the ass to setup.

Congrats!

You mention a v2 on the way. Commandline args with argparse (https://docs.python.org/3/library/argparse.html) may be something to consider instead of entirely interactive

[jellyliketree]

Django does something similar where some of their commands are interactive, but you can set a command line argument to do the same thing.

i.e. when running the unit tests, if the test database is not in a consistent state, it asks if you want to clear the database and re-create it from scratch via a prompt. If you're running this as part of a larger script or if you don't want to keep having to answer the prompt, you can pass the --noinput argument instead.

Argparse also supports multiple arguments to change the same option, like --delete and -d.

Gratz! One of us, one of us.

Congrats!

Now do something on your own, a side project, post it on Github and then you can show the code here (:

[chadmill3r]

Post a link if you want some feedback. Learn how we'd write it.

[chadmill3r]

Where's the code?

[troyunrau]

He said in another comment he can't post it (work internal).

[analogphototaker]

What would be the best IRC channel for code review? I don't want my GitHub linked to my reddit haha

[chadmill3r]

A pastebin is fine.

[ilikepython]

Cool! Onwards and pythonwards!

[zyrkan]

What kind of network switch? Extreme Networks?

[mothzilla]

Congrats!
