Dependency/Impact

Python 3.6 was EOL on December 23rd 2021. Support for pyATS on Python 3.6 ended in April 2022. You will need to move to Python versions 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, or 3.10. (Python 3.8 is default for pyATS installer)

What's Next?

Abstract token enhancements are on the way! These will bring about much more controls on which parts of Genie should be used with your device. New tokens include data such as operating system version, model group, product ID/model number and more. Expect to see these changes in a month or two. There will be new stages for clean.
