Hey, Geevarghese! Haha thanks so much! Glad to hear your thoughts and feedback! :) -John

Great demo John, meaning to take a look at this tool for ages, thanks for the clear explanation

[@IPvZero]

Hey, Ken! Good to hear from you again! Yup, it really is an amazing automation tool. You can tell the developers spent a lot of time and effort on it. Makes it so easy for people with no coding background to get into automaton and programmability. Definitely lab it up, you'll love it. -John

This is a great intro, very well explained. I was able to follow this, learn OSPF database of my gns3 network and then use pandas and networkx to create a graphical view of the OSPF topology. Thank you!

[@IPvZero]

Hey, Redeeming! Brilliant. I love to hear this! Sounds like you're doing some really cool things :) Keep it up! -John

[@cuteanis]

@Redeeming Syllables how you were able to get OSPF graph if you can shed some lights on it Please

[@chrisg1548]

one gotta love the Scottish accent. Cause some things in life you've got to either love or understand... can't do both.

@John, I tried this with Ansible and found out that it was causing issues in python2, however as soon as I changed ansible to use python3, it worked and I also heard that, it only works with python 3.4+, can you please confirm if this is true ?
