Thanks for the replies, what I am trying to do is somewhat different. Python scripts can be run from the switch directly, however the other option is to compile the scripts from a central location and using API's run them on the nexus7k's remotely as it would not be practical to run seperate scripts on say 20+ 7000 switches all the time.
So the actual script still runs on the switch however complied remotely, from what i found this needs to be done via Cisco OnePK which has the relevant API's and python libraries which can be imported into python eg; import cisco.py (within the code)...
I attended a Cisco python scripting for Nexus7k recently and this was demonstrated however I assumed locating the relevant modules would be easy so did not bother to ask anyway the Cisco devnet looks to be unaccessable at the moment so will wait until Monday to have a go.
Also the sshlib and telnetlib are good however just run commands remotely, with the built in modules we can create trigger events for thresholds such as "run sh ip route | inc 00:00" when the cpu spikes due to BGP / ARP which will give us the routes that are flapping at that point in time without anyone needing to monitor the switch manually for this.
Thanks again, I will update this post when I get it working.
