Based on discussions with users, yielding from a generator as input to CiscoConfParse would be useful in case you need to dynamically modify the configuration as it is input to CiscoConfParse... simple example follows...
import re
def fix_brocade_bug(config_file):
with open('/var/local/RANCID/configs/CORE.02.DEN.conf') as fh:
for line in fh.read().splitlines():
# Fix brocade configuration indent bug
line = re.sub('^\s{3,}(address-family.+)', ' \<g>1', line)
yield line
config_generator = fix_brocade_bug('/var/local/RANCID/configs/CORE.02.DEN.conf')
parse = CiscoConfParse(config_generator)
Currently generators are not supported; a minor change would enable generator input.
