As the Internet has grown, Python’s role as an Internet tool has become more prominent. Python’s modular design and rapid turnaround make it ideal for network development. Here are some essential Python libraries for network engineers:
✅ Asyncio – A Python standard library providing an infrastructure for writing single-threaded concurrent code using coroutines. It’s useful for multiplexing I/O access over sockets and running network clients and servers.
✅ Netmiko – A multi-vendor Python library that simplifies SSH connections to network devices. It supports platforms like Cisco IOS, Arista EOS, and Juniper Junos, and can push out configs or add VLANs.
✅ NAPALM – An open-source, vendor-agnostic library offering a unified API to network devices. It works with automation tools like Ansible and SaltStack and can be integrated with custom Python scripts.
✅ pyATS – A highly pluggable, infrastructure-agnostic test automation framework. It’s scalable and helps test, maintain, and diagnose network states. Plugins and Pythonic libraries allow for complex DevOps integrations.
✅ Nornir – An automation framework written in Python. It manages host inventories, dispatches tasks to devices, and provides a framework for writing plugins, similar to Flask in web development.
These libraries are just a few examples; Python offers numerous networking libraries, each with unique strengths. Always research the best library for your specific needs.
