Using python, what is the tool and software that I need to work on network automation, and which python version 2.7 or 3?

Question

what tools needed and the way to scripting to complete a project in network automation

Answer 1

Can you please give more details like what kind of automation and would suggest python 3 as python 2.7 is losing support as for tools any python editing software will do.

Answer 2

Thanks for your reply,
Network Access like as routers or switches and grep data periodically like a report.
I'd like to know what i need of tools or add-on application beside python 3 to run script.
That's to sort my learning path in python, this moment that's important to me, and I didn't need the other useless functions or coding to what I want.
You got my point !

Answer 3

I will suggest use anaconda. It can create python environments and has tools to use to help test code and for the router you would have to do some research on the router to see if there are any API's if not you could use urllib library to access the router as if it was though a browser and save the pulled page as a HTML or something.

edit: is it something similar to this? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15386582/how-to-control-a-tplink-router-with-a-python-script
