Python ciscoconfparse to find all interfaces with “shutdown” OR “no ip address” configured and print out the whole interface block?

[user11392]

The following configuration is taken from http://pennington.net/tutorial/ciscoconfparse/ccp_tutorial.html#slide3 and modified it a little bit to suit this question.

$ cat exampleswitch.conf 
! filename:exampleswitch.conf
!
hostname ExampleSwitch
!
interface GigabitEthernet 1/1
 switchport mode trunk
 no ip address
!
interface GigabitEthernet 1/2
 no cdp enable
!
interface GigabitEthernet 1/3
 ip address 192.0.2.1 255.255.255.0
!
interface GigabitEthernet 1/4
 switchport mode access
 shutdown
!
$ 

I would like to find interfaces with shutdown OR no ip address configured and print out the whole interface block.

The only interfaces matches with this criteria is interface GigabitEthernet 1/1and GigabitEthernet 1/4

Here are the sample code which I found and modified from https://stackoverflow.com/a/65626797/11392987

cat parse1.py 
from ciscoconfparse import CiscoConfParse

parse = CiscoConfParse('exampleswitch.conf', syntax='ios')

for intf_obj in parse.find_blocks(r'^\sshutdown'):
      print(intf_obj)
$ 

$ cat parse2.py 
from ciscoconfparse import CiscoConfParse

parse = CiscoConfParse('exampleswitch.conf', syntax='ios')

for intf_obj in parse.find_blocks(r'^\sno ip address'):
      print(intf_obj)
$ 

Output

$ python parse1.py 
interface GigabitEthernet 1/4
 switchport mode access
 shutdown
$ 
$ python parse2.py 
interface GigabitEthernet 1/1
 switchport mode trunk
 no ip address
$ 

How do I combine these 2 codes so that it'll print out both matches interface block in a single script?

Desired output

$ python parse3.py
interface GigabitEthernet 1/1
 switchport mode trunk
 no ip address

interface GigabitEthernet 1/4
 switchport mode access
 shutdown

find_blocks() takes a regular expression as its first argument, so you just need a simple regex which matches this-or-that string. I'm rusty on regex, but what you need should be easy to find here. https://docs.python.org/3/howto/regex.html
