遇到NETCONF python库的xml无效属性名称

Question

我正在使用一个高级python库ncclient来编辑NETCONF设备的配置，但是我遇到了这个错误：

ValueError: Invalid attribute name u'xmlns:if'

我怀疑这与xml名称空间问题有关，因为lxml库正在抱怨属性名称

我所要做的就是创建一个到设备的连接，然后关闭它

manager = ncclient.manager.connect(
    host=host,
    port=port,
    username=username,
    password=b64decode(password),
    device_params={
        "name": "nexus",
        "ssh_subsystem_name": "xmlagent"
    }
)
manager.close_session()

下面是堆栈跟踪：

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./switch_config.py", line 41, in <module>
    main()
  File "./switch_config.py", line 26, in main
    manager.close_session()

我最终通过以下方式让它在NX-OS上运行：

删除ncclient/device/nexus.py中的所有名称空间，并添加名称空间"xmlns":"http://www.cisco.com/nxos:1.0:netconf"。

def get_xml_base_namespace_dict(self):
    return { "xmlns":"http://www.cisco.com/nxos:1.0:netconf" }      #Add root namespace

def get_xml_extra_prefix_kwargs(self):
    d = {
            # "xmlns:nxos":"http://www.cisco.com/nxos:1.0",           #remove other namespaces
            # "xmlns:if":"http://www.cisco.com/nxos:1.0:if_manager"
        }
    d.update(self.get_xml_base_namespace_dict())
    return d
