What's wizzer?

wizzer is a Python module to help programmers initialise their domain specific variable(s)/configuration(s) using a wizard-like question answer chat scenario. The need for this module began to develope when there was such need for Intent-Based Networking (IBN). Where the user would express their intention and expect the system to translate and trigger setup automatically.

** This is a pre-LLM era repository.

How to use?

1. import wizzer package.

import wizzer

2. have your questions (configuration parameters) ready. accepted formats are arrays, dictionaries or a single string. You can also pass the questions to "convert module" to get back a ready to use dictionary.

   • Here we have an array forexample:

q1 = [
        'driver',
        'hostname',
        'username',
        'password',
        'port',
]

• Now you can ask above attributes from the user. This will return a new dictinary with all answers filled-in as corresponding values.

q = wizzer.ask(q1)

What's the driver ?  iosxr
What's the hostname ?  ios-xe-mgmt.cisco.com
What's the username ?  developer
What's the password ?  C1sco12345
What's the port ?  8181

• You can review the configurations by running:

wizzer.review(q)

driver :  iosxr
hostname :  ios-xe-mgmt.cisco.com
username :  developer
password :  C1sco12345
port :  8181

3. Here we have a dictionary forexample:

q2 = {
        'driver': '',
        'hostname': '',
        'username': '',
        'password': '',
        'port': '',
}

• Now you can ask above attributes from the user. This will return a new dictinary with all answers filled-in as corresponding values.

q = wizzer.ask(q2)

What's the driver ?  iosxr
What's the hostname ?  ios-xe-mgmt.cisco.com
What's the username ?  developer
What's the password ?  C1sco12345
What's the port ?  8181

• You can review the configurations by running:

wizzer.review(q2)

driver :  iosxr
hostname :  ios-xe-mgmt.cisco.com
username :  developer
password :  C1sco12345
port :  8181
