TL;DR
For anyone who may just be starting in their network automation journey and is looking to simply get their head around things a bit, this page is a curation / summation / collection of notes regarding doing network DevOps work that in some form involves Python.
If it helps save at least one person time, whether in learning, figuring out what not to spend time on, etc., then it will have served its purpose. (It is also for myself as a refresher, as nothing helps one learn like having to write it down or teach it to someone else.)
