genie.libs.conf

What it is and what it does

Genie Libs Conf is a configuration library component of the Genie test automation framework. It lets you define and manage network device topology and configuration through Python object attributes rather than raw CLI or API calls. The library abstracts device configuration into a common object structure that works across different operating systems and management interfaces (CLI, YANG, REST), making it easier to write portable, reusable network automation code.

The package has no runtime dependencies, so it installs cleanly. It is actively maintained and designed to integrate with the broader Genie framework for test automation and network device management.

Use it for:

• Define network topology and device configurations in Python code for test automation scenarios
• Write portable device configuration code that works across multiple network OS platforms
• Build reusable configuration objects compatible with CLI, YANG, and REST management interfaces
• Integrate device configuration management into Genie test harnesses and automation workflows

Installing genie.libs.conf

Before you install

Active maintenance with a release 7 days ago. No runtime dependencies means straightforward installation.

License in practice

Apache 2.0 permissive license allows commercial and private use with minimal restrictions.

Quickstart

pip install genie.libs.conf

from genie.libs.conf import Genie
# Configure topology through Python object attributes

Requires Python 3.5 or later; Linux and macOS only (Windows not supported)

Verify before relying

• Whether Python 3.4+ support claim in description still applies to version 26.7, given classifiers list 3.5–3.8
• Whether Windows support has been added since the description was written
• Actual scope of 'community driven' libraries and what configuration domains are covered
