New release

[DavidVentura]

Hi
Is anything blocking a new release? I'm interested in not maintaining my fork anymore -- if there's a pending task or so that you need help with to get a release out, I can help you!

Hi @DavidVentura

We will do some internal discussion around this in the next day or so. You mentioned that you are maintaining a fork of pyeapi. I am curious if whatever changes/updates you have in your fork are already included in the develop branch of pyeapi?

[DavidVentura]

Yep, they are currently in develop (#216, #214)

Re-upping this...I need some of the PY3.10 support features for NAPALM so it would be nice to have a new release.

I'm working towards a new release, but due to switching from python2 to python3 here at arista, many of unit/system tests require update - it’s quite a bit of work.

@dlyssenko No worries...I actually just realized I can work around the SSL PY3.10 issue entirely inside of NAPALM so it definitely became less pressing.

[dlyssenko]

@ktbyers ktbyers could you share what SSL issue? I recently merged a PR where I allowed passing SSL context to the pyeapi now. Is that the one, or you meant something else?

[ktbyers]

@dlyssenko The PY3.10 SSL handshake issue (due to tighter security defaults i.e. the same one you referenced above for the SSL context).

napalm-automation/napalm#1731

But as I mentioned above, we can work around it in NAPALM without any fix in pyeapi...so I am much less concerned about a pyeapi release.

closing this one: the submitter found an acceptable w/a, plus the works towards the new release are underway.
