Python scripts enable you to manipulate and launch
Extreme Networks operating system commands, taking advantage of the power and flexibility of Python. Such scripts also support event handling.
The topics in this section guide you through the process of writing and testing Python scripts, copying them to supported devices, and running them with the
python command from the command line.
Testing Python-script statements While developing a Python script, you can test Extreme Networks operating system calls by entering them in the device Python command shell. After the script is stable, you copy it to the device and then test it further by running it from the command line.
Copying Python files to the device After writing and testing a Python script file, use one of these topics to copy it to device flash memory.
Running Python scripts from the command line The facility to run Python scripts from the Extreme Networks operating system command line enables you to execute complex and repetitious tasks with accuracy and efficiency. This facility also enables you to validate scripts intended for event management.
