Genie libs sdk: Libraries containing all Triggers and Verifications
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you are building network or infrastructure test automation with pyATS. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and offers a permissive license. Install friction is low. The primary consideration is whether your test targets align with the supported device types and whether you need the full dependency stack (SNMP, YANG, REST, VMware APIs).AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.4+ on Linux or Mac; Windows is not supported.
- Depends on network connectivity to target devices and appropriate credentials for SNMP, REST, or YANG-based access.
- Low friction installation as a pure Python wheel.

Alternatives
Verify before relying
pip install genie.libs.sdk
from genie.libs.sdk import triggers
from genie.libs.sdk import verifications
# Use pre-built triggers and verifications in your test cases
# (specific usage depends on your device type and test scenario)- Whether the package still supports Python 3.4 as stated in the description, or if support has been narrowed to 3.5+
- Current status of Windows platform support, given the description states it is not yet supported
- Whether all seven runtime dependencies are truly required or if some are optional for specific use cases
What it is and what it does
Genie Libs SDK is the library component of Genie, a test automation framework built on top of pyATS. It provides a collection of pre-built test triggers and verification routines designed for network and infrastructure testing, particularly for Cisco devices and systems. The package is part of a larger ecosystem that encourages writing reusable, data-driven test cases in Python using object-oriented patterns.
The package depends on network connectivity libraries (yang.connector, rest.connector, pysnmp), configuration parsing (ruamel.yaml), and virtualization APIs (pyVmomi) to interact with devices and systems under test. It is intended for developers and system administrators building test automation suites that need to scale from simple linear test cases to complex asynchronous test scenarios.
Use it for
- Build reusable network device test suites for Cisco infrastructure using pre-built triggers and verifications.
- Automate validation of network configurations and device state across multiple devices in a data-driven manner.
- Develop infrastructure test automation that integrates SNMP monitoring, REST APIs, and YANG-based device management.
- Create test harnesses for rapid iteration in Agile development cycles with modular, composable test components.
- Validate VMware and network device interactions as part of larger infrastructure test scenarios.

Install
genie-libs-sdk on PyPI
Before you install
Low friction installation as a pure Python wheel. Actively maintained with a release within the past week. Depends on seven runtime packages including YAML parsing, network connectors, SNMP, and VMware APIs, which are generally stable but add moderate dependency weight.
Requires Python 3.4+ on Linux or Mac; Windows is not supported. Depends on network connectivity to target devices and appropriate credentials for SNMP, REST, or YANG-based access.
