Python scripts can run in non-interactive mode by providing the Python script name as an argument in the Python command. Python
scripts must be accessible from within the Guest Shell. To access Python scripts from the Guest Shell, save the scripts in
bootflash/flash that is mounted within the Guest Shell.
The following sample Python script uses different CLI functions to configure and print show commands:
Device# more flash:sample_script.py
import sys
import cli
intf= sys.argv[1:]
intf = ''.join(intf[0])
print "\n\n *** Configuring interface %s with 'configurep' function *** \n\n" %intf
cli.configurep(["interface loopback55","ip address 10.55.55.55 255.255.255.0","no shut","end"])
print "\n\n *** Configuring interface %s with 'configure' function *** \n\n"
cmd='interface %s,logging event link-status ,end' % intf
cli.configure(cmd.split(','))
print "\n\n *** Printing show cmd with 'executep' function *** \n\n"
cli.executep('show ip interface brief')
print "\n\n *** Printing show cmd with 'execute' function *** \n\n"
output= cli.execute('show run interface %s' %intf)
print (output)
print "\n\n *** Configuring interface %s with 'cli' function *** \n\n"
cli.cli('config terminal; interface %s; spanning-tree portfast edge default' %intf)
print "\n\n *** Printing show cmd with 'clip' function *** \n\n"
cli.clip('show run interface %s' %intf)
To run a Python script from the Guest Shell, execute the guestshell run python /flash/script.py command
at the device prompt.
The following example shows how to run a Python script from the Guest Shell:
