netmiko: How to sends get command output in a new line


This is the script

from netmiko import ConnectHandler

cisco_device = {
    'device_type': 'cisco_ios',
    'ip': 'Router1',
    'username': 'u',
    'password': 'p'
}

net_connect = ConnectHandler(**cisco_device)

cmd = ['show clock', 'show version | include IOS']
output = ''
for command in cmd:
    output += net_connect.send_command(command)

print(output)

Output

As you can see, the output is displayed in a single line

user@linux:~$ python script.py 

*00:22:10.927 UTC Fri Mar 1 2002Cisco IOS Software, 3700 Software (C3725-ADVENTERPRISEK9-M), Version 12.4(15)T7, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc3)
user@linux:~$ 

Desired Output

I would like to separate each output in a new line

*00:23:31.943 UTC Fri Mar 1 2002
Cisco IOS Software, 3700 Software (C3725-ADVENTERPRISEK9-M), Version 12.4(15)T7, RELEASE 

Solution

  • output = []
    for command in cmd:
        output.append(net_connect.send_command(command))
        print(output[-1])
