Python language for commit, event, op, and SNMP scripts

You can author commit, event, op, and SNMP scripts in Python on devices that include the Python extensions package in the software image. Creating automation scripts in Python enables you to take advantage of Python features and libraries as well as leverage Junos PyEZ APIs supported in Junos PyEZ Release 1.3.1 and earlier releases to perform operational and configuration tasks on devices running Junos OS. To enable execution of Python automation scripts, which the root user must own, configure the language python statement at the [edit system scripts] hierarchy level, and configure the filename for the Python script under the hierarchy level appropriate to that script type. Supported Python versions include Python 2.7.x.
