It retrieves device facts (serial number, software version, model), operational state as structured tables and views, and configuration data without requiring users to write or parse Junos XML directly. The library is designed for two audiences: network engineers who want to use Python as an interactive shell for common automation tasks like conditional testing and templating, and software developers who need an extensible foundation for integrating Junos automation into larger IT systems.\n\nThe package depends on ncclient for NETCONF communication, paramiko for SSH, lxml for XML processing, and several utilities like Jinja2 for templating and PyYAML for configuration handling. It supports modern Python versions and is actively maintained. The library provides utilities for common operations such as secure file copy, software updates, and configuration changes in both unstructured and structured formats.","worth_installing":"Yes. Junos PyEZ is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, uses permissive licensing, and offers low installation friction. It is well-suited for teams managing Junos infrastructure who want to automate tasks without deep XML API expertise. Install it if you need to programmatically manage Junos devices; skip it if you have no Junos devices or prefer CLI-only management."},"id":"junos-eznc","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/junos-eznc","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/junos-eznc.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/junos-eznc/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-06-22","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"junos-eznc","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Junos 'EZ' automation for non-programmers"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":519946,"position":6213,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.8.2"}
