        # netconf_client
        
        A NETCONF client for Python 2.7 and 3+.
        
        ## Basic Usage
        
        ```python
        from netconf_client.connect import connect_ssh
        from netconf_client.ncclient import Manager
        
        session = connect_ssh(host="localhost", port=830, username="admin", password="password")
        mgr = Manager(session, timeout=120)
        
        mgr.edit_config(config="""<config> ... </config>""")
        print(mgr.get(filter="""<filter> ... </filter>""").data_xml)
        ```

        ## Comparison with `ncclient`
        
        Compared to [ncclient](https://github.com/ncclient/ncclient),
        `netconf_client` has several advantages:
        
         - It's simpler (at the time of writing: 789 LoC vs 2889 LoC)
         - lxml can be bypassed, which can work around issues where lxml
           breaks namespaces of e.g. identityrefs
         - Support for TLS sessions
        
        And a few disadvantages:
        
         - Support for non-RFC-compliant devices isn't really included in
           `netconf_client`
         - `netconf_client` does a lot less error checking and assumes you're
           sending valid messages to the server (however this can be useful
           for testing edge-case behavior of a server)
