Starting from v0.2.9 there are new objects, namely CiscoIosParser and CiscoIosInterfaceLine from ccutils.ccparser. These classes have all the functionality of former BaseConfigParser and BaseInterfaceLine which were Cisco Only up to this point. This means that all of the Base* classes have been put to background and will serve only as parent objects for new <Vendor><OS>Parser and <Vendor><OS>InterfaceLine which will come in the future releases.

From now on use the following approach for instantiating your config objects:

from ccutils.ccparser import ConfigParser

parser = ConfigParser(config="/path/to/file/or/string", device_type="ios")

Where device-type="ios" is the important part. ConfigParser is just a function returning proper class based on device-type parameter. So far, the only supported device type is "ios".

Alternatively, if you are working just with IOS configs, you can use:

from ccutils.ccparser import CiscoIosParser

parser = CiscoIosParser(config="/path/to/file/or/string")

Starting from 0.3.0, all the functions and properties of BaseConfigParser and BaseInterfaceLine which contained any Cisco-related regexes/stuff will be removed.

This package provides a library to handle Cisco configuration files in a better programmatic way.

• Cisco Config Parser
• Cisco Config Templater

As the names suggest, Cisco Config Parser can be used to search, audit and parse existing configuration files, whereas Cisco Config Templater can be used to generate these configs.

Step 1:

pip3 install ccutils

Step 2:
