Running Python applications using aliased MD-CLI

Python applications can be executed from a configured alias in MD-CLI. See ‟Command Aliases” in the 7450 ESS, 7750 SR, 7950 XRS, and VSR MD-CLI User Guide. for more information about how to configure an alias in the MD-CLI.

Aliases may call a configured (named) Python application or the pyexec command.

There are specific AAA considerations for each method. See Authentication, authorization, and accounting for more information.

Each time an alias that references a Python application is executed, a new Python interpreter is spawned.
