Package: edit4config
Edit4ConfigNokia SROS, Cisco IOS style (parent/child with space indentation) config edit module with add, delete, replace and search function with regex supported. Every line in config text converted to path (parent) and value (line) based on space indent. After this converting process (Config with Parents or CwP) every config line is unique with own parents and editing can be done easily.RequirementsPython >= 3.9For Windows, select theAdd Python 3.x to PATHcheckbox during installation.Installationpip install edit4configCwP (Config with Parents) ExampleConfig Text:configure

...UsageEditConfig Simple UsageAfter CwP converting EditConfig add, delete, replace, search and other methods can be used as below.Add-Delete-Replace methods supported regex, multiple match.Add-Delete methods supported serial CwP Text lines with newline.# import EditConfig modulefromedit4configimportEditConfig# read config file and get config_textwithopen('CONFIG_FILE.txt')asfile:config_text=file.read()# define EditConfig object with options e.g. comments, step_space# comments for Nokia is ('#', 'echo') and for Cisco is ('!')# step_space for Nokia is 4 and for Cisco is 1device_cwp=EditConfig(config_text,4,('#','echo'))# add "sync-e" before "no shutdown" under configure,card 1,mda 1device_cwp.add_before_lines('configure,card 1,mda 1,sync-e','configure,card 1,mda 1,no shutdown')# delete "no shutdown" under configure,card 1,mda 1device_cwp.delete_serial_lines('configure,card 1,mda 1,no shutdown')# replace "no shutdown" with "shutdown" under configure,card 1,mda 1device_cwp.replace_line('configure,card 1,mda 1,no shutdown','configure,card 1,mda 1,shutdown')# delete "no shutdown" for all card and all mda with regexdevice_cwp.delete_serial_lines('configure,card \d+,mda \d+,no shutdown',regex_match=True,multiple_match=True)# after editing done, convert device_cwp object to text filenew_config_text=device_cwp.cwp_to_text()withopen('CONFIG_FILE_NEW.txt','w')asfile:file.write(new_config_text)Another example below for getting CwP and making custom jobs.# import EditConfig modulefromedit4configimportEditConfig# read config file and get config_textwithopen('CONFIG_FILE.txt')asfile:config_text=file.read()# define EditConfig object with options e.g. comments, step_space# comments for Nokia is ('#', 'echo') and for Cisco is ('!')# step_space for Nokia is 4 and for Cisco is 1device_cwp=EditConfig(config_text,4,('#','echo'))# get full cwp-list from EditConfig object with <cwp> variabledevice_cwp_list=device_cwp.cwp# get ntp config from cwp-list and printforline_path,line_valueindevice_cwp.cwp:ifline_path.startswith('configure,system,time,ntp'):print(line_value.strip())Besides simple usage check other EditConfig methods e.g. cwp_search, cwp_serial_check.
