Network Automation Standard Library

This library contains the functions and utilities that are shared by most Network Automation projects built at SURF.

Getting started

If you want to use a virtual environment first create the environment:

pip install flit

And then run the following commands:

If you want to enhance or develop bug fixes for nwastdlib it's easiest to run the following commands:

flit install --deps develop --symlink

Development

Depending on the feature type, run bumpversion (patch|minor|major) to increment the version you are working on. For example to update the increment the patch version use

bumpversion patch

To run tests

pytest

Supported Python versions

nwa-stdlib must support the same python versions as orchestrator-core.

Exceptions to this rule are:

• A new python version is released: nwa-stdlib should support the new version before orchestrator-core does
• Support for an old python version is dropped: nwa-stdlib should drop the python version after orchestrator-core does
