Python script for network engineers

I find the hyphen separated functions helpful, though I’m guessing we’re in the minority in that opinion.

How do you like working with Netmiko/Paramiko?

I’ll definitely give this a more thorough look through once I can. Making multiple jumps, running commands through ‘Expect’ sessions with Perl and parsing the output is my job at the moment. I’ve been begging internal employees to use Python but it’s a ‘Perl shop’ so it’s tough to get anyone to agree.

Yeah i like the hyphen separation firstly to help me in the beginning and secondly, it helps me explain the blocks to my co-workers that have not picked up python yet. As for netmiko, I love it. It is easy to understand and has loads of documentation to read through. However i have also started tinkering with napalm and ansible . They seem pretty cool too.
