ciscoconfparse with factory=True doesn't do what you want (yet) #35

Closed mpenning closed 2 years ago

mpenning commented 9 years ago

It seems that the factory=True code in models_cisco.py and models_asa.py is becoming somewhat popular. These days, I am getting bugs filed against it as much as regular ciscoconfparse code.

Sadly, there is a lot of work to do on the factory=True methods, and I am not convinced that the factory model for configuration lines is the right approach yet; this doesn't mean I will rip it out, but it certainly does mean I'm not done...

Please heed the warning at the top of the source code, until I work out the right direction to take this effort. As such, the code in models_cisco.py and models_asa.py might change... significantly.

### HUGE UGLY WARNING:
###   Anything in models_cisco.py could change at any time, until I remove this
###   warning.  I have good reason to believe that these methods are stable and 
###   function correctly, but I've been wrong before.  There are no unit tests
###   for this functionality yet, so I consider all this code alpha quality. 
###
###   Use models_cisco.py at your own risk.  You have been warned :-)

All that said, I don't mind bugs filed against factory=True; I definitely want to know what to prioritize.
