python

I’ll like to discuss the Mako Template Engine and the integration to the Network Configuration Generator in this post. The initial Use Case for the Web service includes the following requirements: dynamically detection of configuration variables, control structures within the templates and the bulk generation of configuration data.

I’ll like to provide a quick overview about the Flask microframework and the associated modules and libraries that I used during the development of the Network Configuration Generator. There are many tutorials out there on “how to develop a Flask application”, therefore I will limit the code examples to a minimum in this post. I’ll focus on the resources that I’ve used for learning.

Today I'll like to give you a brief introduction to a small Web service that I've created earlier this year: the Product Database. The primary functional goal of this Web service was to automate Cisco EoL checks using a central database.

Today I’d like to show you a quick introduction to the ipaddress module that is part of the python 3. The code examples are part of a Jupyter notebook, as already announced in my last post.

I like to write about a tool today, that I used since several months to write python code for some smaller tasks: Jupyter. It provides a web-based python environment running on your local machine or on a server. This is very useful from my perspective to get started with python programming, play with new libraries and share scripts.
