scrapli_netconf is a NETCONF driver built on top of scrapli, giving you all the scrapli behaviour you know and love, but for NETCONF connections.

Key Features:

• Easy: Just like scrapli, scrapli_netconf is easy to get going with, and looks and feels just like "normal" scrapli -- check out the documentation and example links above, and you'll be connecting to devices in no time.
• Fast: Do you like to go fast? Of course you do! scrapli_netconf supports all of the ssh transports that scrapli core supports; check out the ssh2 transport if you've got the need for speed!
• Great Developer Experience: scrapli_netconf has great editor support thanks to being fully typed; that plus thorough docs make developing with scrapli a breeze.
• Well Tested: Perhaps out of paranoia, but regardless of the reason, scrapli_netconf has lots of tests! Unit tests cover the basics, regularly ran functional tests connect to virtual routers to ensure that everything works IRL!
• Concurrency on Easy Mode: Nornir's scrapli plugin gives you all the normal benefits of scrapli plus all the great features of Nornir.

Requirements

MacOS or *nix¹, Python 3.7+

scrapli_netconf's only requirements are scrapli, of course, and lxml.

¹ Although many parts of scrapli do run on Windows, Windows is not officially supported

Installation

pip install scrapli_netconf

See the docs for other installation methods/details.

from scrapli_netconf.driver import NetconfDriver

my_device = {

    "auth_username": "scrapli",
    "auth_password": "scrapli",
    "auth_strict_key": False,
    "port": 830
}

conn = NetconfDriver(**my_device)
conn.open()
response = conn.get_config(source="running")
print(response.result)
