It reads a configuration file, breaks it into linked parent-child line relationships (e.g., an interface line as parent, shutdown as child), and lets you search and extract information using regex and object methods. You can audit existing configurations for missing or incorrect settings, modify them programmatically, or build new ones from scratch.\n\nThe library is now end-of-life as of December 2023. The maintainer released a successor as a separate PyPI project with broader vendor support, deeper configuration hierarchy, and a revised API. While this version remains functional and has no known vulnerabilities, new projects should use the successor instead, and existing code should be tested carefully before attempting migration.","worth_installing":"No, unless you are maintaining legacy code that already depends on this version. The project is archived and abandoned; the maintainer explicitly recommends upgrading to the successor project. If you are starting a new project, use the successor instead. If you must use this version, be aware it will receive no further updates or security patches."},"id":"ciscoconfparse","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/ciscoconfparse","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/ciscoconfparse.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/ciscoconfparse/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-11-22","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"ciscoconfparse","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Parse, Audit, Query, Build, and Modify Cisco IOS-style and JunOS-style configs"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":444735,"position":6619,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.9.52"}
