### AI overview

This article introduces Python libraries for network engineering, explaining how they support device connections, API interactions, automation, configuration backups, audits, and reports. It discusses Netmiko, NAPALM, Nornir, Paramiko, and Requests.

### Source excerpt

A Python script usually spends very little time doing actual Python work. Most of the actual work comes from libraries that know how to connect to network devices and do the work. They interact with APIs. Once you understand what each library does, you can spend less time writing code and more time solving network ...
