  • 1.  PyEZ and python 3.13

    Posted 30 days ago

    I just had to upgrade my RHEL8 system to Fedora 41, which comes with python 3.13.  I loaded all of the prereqs for PyEZ, and then attempted to run my scripts.  They are failing because they cannot find the module "telnetlib", which  I see has been removed from python 3.13 (last available in python 3.12).  What are my options - is this being addressed in PyEZ fixes?  Thanks.

    Please see: https://github.com/Juniper/py-junos-eznc/pull/1358

    A workaround is in the master branch, just not tagged as a release yet afaik.

    Anyone know if there are plans to include this fix in a release?  Thanks.

    Since it's in the master branch, it will become a release when the developers are happy to do so.  You could just use the master branch, or make a fork of the version you want to use and incorporate the changes in the earlier link, they're quite minimal.

    Do you really have something running production, that can only run telnet? I mean telnet has been a major no-no for many years, for obvious reasons, which is why nobody uses it any more.

    Reasoning for removing it from python is here: https://docs.python.org/3/library/telnetlib.html

    Please consider using ssh og netconf.

    I agree, telnet is not good, and I do not use it.  I only want to get my existing PyEZ scripts running on my new OS.  Since I am also not good with git, I will wait for an official release.  Thanks to all.

    As per the PyEz readme, you can install the master branch version using pip.

    https://github.com/Juniper/py-junos-eznc?tab=readme-ov-file#pip

    To install the latest MASTER code
pip install git+https://github.com/Juniper/py-junos-eznc.git
-or-
To install a specific version, branch, tag, etc.
pip install git+https://github.com/Juniper/py-junos-eznc.git@<branch,tag,commit>

    Telnet is one of the supported protocols for PyEz, in addition to ssh, netconf, serial etc.  I think that the issue is that the currently released version of PyEz has references to telnetlib which until recently was included in Python3 but no more since Python 3.13.

    A temporary workaround is in place in the master branch of PyEz and that will work with Python 3.13.
