A Python library for parsing and managing network device configurations using Pydantic models and Ansible-like parsing capabilities.

• Parse device configurations into structured Python objects
• Type-safe configuration handling with Pydantic models
• Support for interfaces, VLANs, routing protocols, and more
• Easy access to parsed configuration data

Openssl is needed to run the code. Run the following commands:

# Install Openssl on mac
brew install openssl

# Install Openssl on ubuntu/debian
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev

# Install Openssl on red hat/centos
sudo yum install openssl-devel

Then, set the necessary environment variables to point to your OpenSSL installation:

export LDFLAGS="-L$(brew --prefix openssl)/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I$(brew --prefix openssl)/include"

Install the packages using pip

uv pip install -e .

uv pip install -e ".[dev]"

from models import CiscoIOS

# Create a router instance with config
config = """
hostname ROUTER-01
interface GigabitEthernet0/0
 description WAN Interface
 ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
 no shutdown
"""

router = CiscoIOS(config)

# Access parsed configuration
print(router.config.hostname)  # ROUTER-01
print(router.get_interface('GigabitEthernet0/0').description)  # WAN Interface
