Gather facts returns misquoted data for version_info on QFX

[codyrat]

Device.open(gather_facts=True) returns misquoted 'version_info' data for QFX with VCF.

version_info value is not correctly quoted and causes errors on python/flask data-handling.

issue: 'version_info': junos.version_info(major=(14, 1), type=X, minor=(53, 'D', 30), build=3),

@codyrat This is expected behavior. Value of 'version_info' key is object of class 'version_info'. You need to handle this accordingly in your environment.

>>> type(dev.facts['version_info'])
<class 'jnpr.junos.facts.swver.version_info'>
>>> ver_info = dev.facts['version_info']
>>> ver_info.major
(14, 1)
