How to handle the element provided by operation command in python

[mss.support]

Hi, 

I have this little script, the idea is show in the console all address that I have in the running config. 

But,  when I work with the xml element. the print  not show the addresses. 

This is the result or rest api. to operation command "show config running"

I need to extract from xml the name object and ip-netmask.

Seems like you're using pandevice to do the op() call?  If so, this is better since there is an object for address objects:

from pandevice.objects import AddressObject

listing = AddressObject.refreshall(fw)

for obj in listing:
  if obj.type != 'ip-netmask':
    continue
  print('Name: {0}) | ip-netmask: {1}'.format(obj.name, obj.value))

If you really wanted to do "'show config running" to get the answer, your xpath search is wrong.  It should be ./result/config/devices/entry[@name='vsys1']/address/entry.  At that location, the name is an attribute, and ip-netmask may or may not be there, so using find() is ok.

Thank you so much!!!. I'm creating a script to get all object and compare to see the duplicates and take that info to perform a clean up in the firewall.

Again thanks a lot!!!
