My attempt at python scripting using netconf to extract information from a juniper router

Here's a pretty simple script. I loaded all the modules for netconf from github.

You'll need to make sure the router is configured to accept netconf connections.

user@router# show system

services {

    netconf {

        ssh;

    }

}

Now from my mac I can make an off router connection and extract the Juniper hardware inventory information.
