dependency issue with netmiko

[Trasmontinho]

HI @ktbyers,

I've tried to update my netmiko plugin to the v4.0 but I've seen that there's a dependency issue on this package which make it incompatible with netmiko. Is there a further release of this package that will authorize the use of the v4.0 of Netmiko ?

Thanks,

Regards,

Sam

Yes, nornir_netmiko needs upgraded to work with Netmiko4.0. It still needs to be done.

@Trasmontinho FYI, develop branch now uses Netmiko 4.X.

I probably need until NAPALM gets updated to Netmiko 4.X (which I have an open pull-request on) before I can release this to pypi.

Thanks @ktbyers !

I'll try this.

Any update on this? Would really love to see this plugin support Netmiko >=4.

I probably need until NAPALM gets updated to Netmiko 4.X (which I have an open pull-request on) before I can release this to pypi.

And not sure I follow this. I mean, I don't see NAPALM as a dependency of nornir_netmiko when I run pipdeptree:

...

And when I check the NAPALM requirements file, they're indicating that they already require netmiko >=4: https://github.com/napalm-automation/napalm/blob/develop/requirements.txt

As I said, would very much love to see this updated to support Netmiko >4 (4.1.0 is latest as I type this). We're utilizing both Netmiko and Nornir for an internal Django project, with different parts leveraging each. But at present we have to pin Netmiko to < 4 due to using Nornir, which in turn uses this plugin.

Netmiko 4.0.0 fix is in NAPALM develop branch, but hasn't been released to pypi.

I don't want to push an updated nornir_netmiko until I can also push an updated nornir_napalm (since nornir_napalm uses Netmiko under the hood). And until next NAPALM is released, I can't do this.

Let me ask Mircea when he plans to release the next NAPALM release.

[ktbyers]

This is done. nornir_netmiko, nornir_napalm, and napalm are now all released for Netmiko 4.x
