About

libnetconf is a NETCONF library in C intended for building NETCONF clients and servers. It provides basic functions to connect NETCONF client and server to each other via SSH or TLS, to send and receive NETCONF messages and to store and work with the configuration data in a datastore.

This is the libnetconf's API for Python.

Requirements

The libnetconf Python API provides the Python module compatible with Python 3. To install it, the installation process requires the distutils Python module.
