Ncclient is a Python library that facilitates client-side scripting and application development around the NETCONF protocol.

NETCONF (Network Configuration Protocol) provides mechanisms to install, manipulate, and delete the configuration of network devices. Its operations are realized on top of a simple remote procedure call (RPC) layer.

The NETCONF protocol uses an Extensible Markup Language (XML) based data encoding for the configuration data as well as the protocol messages.

This package provides the Python 3 version of the library.
