    <p>I am building a python automation API around a device configuration that looks like this...</p> <pre><code>root@EX4200-24T# show interfaces ge-0/0/6 mtu 9216; unit 0 { family ethernet-switching { port-mode trunk; vlan { members [ v100 v101 v102 ]; } } } root@EX4200-24T# </code></pre> <p>I am defining python classes for certain actions (like SET), as well as classes for the keywords for the action... The idea is that SET would iterate through the keyword classes and attach the class objects to the interfaces.</p> <p>The problem is that the configuration of this device is quite hierarchical... for instance if there are many <code>ethernet-switching</code> instances, I don't want API users to have to use:</p> <pre><code># Note that each keyword corresponds to a python class that is appended # to an InterfaceList object behind the scenes... SET(Interface='ge-0/0/6.0', Family='ethernet-switching', PortMode='trunk', Vlan=['v100', 'v101', 'v102']) SET(Interface='ge-0/0/7.0', Family='ethernet-switching', PortMode='trunk', Vlan=['v100', 'v101', 'v102']) SET(Interface='ge-0/0/8.0', Family='ethernet-switching', PortMode='trunk', Vlan=['v100', 'v101', 'v102']) </code></pre> <p>Instead I would like to be able to use:</p> <pre><code>Family('ethernet-switching') SET(Interface='ge-0/0/6.0', PortMode='trunk', Vlan=['v100', 'v101', 'v102']) SET(Interface='ge-0/0/7.0', PortMode='trunk', Vlan=['v100', 'v101', 'v102']) SET(Interface='ge-0/0/8.0', PortMode='trunk', Vlan=['v100', 'v101', 'v102']) Family(None) # API usage continues... </code></pre> <p>However, I can't figure out a way to code this in python without resorting to something like this...</p> <pre><code>f = Family('ethernet-switching') f.SET(Interface='ge-0/0/6.0', PortMode='trunk', Vlan=['v100', 'v101', 'v102']) f.SET(Interface='ge-0/0/7.0', PortMode='trunk', Vlan=['v100', 'v101', 'v102']) f.SET(Interface='ge-0/0/8.0', PortMode='trunk', Vlan=['v100', 'v101', 'v102']) </code></pre> <p>Which is not so bad until I need <code>SET()</code> to inherit from multiple classes... such as...</p> <p><em>PREFERRED API</em></p> <pre><code># Note: there could be many combinations of classes to inherit from Family('ethernet-switching') PortMode('trunk') SET(Interface='ge-0/0/6.0', Vlan=['v100', 'v101', 'v102']) SET(Interface='ge-0/0/7.0', Vlan=['v100', 'v101', 'v102']) PortMode('access') SET(Interface='ge-0/0/8.0', Vlan=['v100']) SET(Interface='ge-0/0/9.0', Vlan=['v100']) Family(None) PortMode(None) </code></pre> <p>Is there a pythonic way to achieve the last API example I have? If not, can you share some ideas for how to code the hierarchy of classes?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
