Engineer skills/Exam Hands-on skills track

Python for Network Engineers

Python from the very first line, always with a network job to do: read and fix scripts, turn CLI output and CSV files into data, plan subnets with ipaddress, build configs from Jinja2 templates, push and back up devices over SSH, call REST APIs, and turn a script into a tool with options, logs, error handling and cron. Every lab runs real code against simulated routers and switches.
