Read content of Multivalue

[alexandreseitz]

Hello I need to read content of Multivalue. Typically in my program when I connect to Ixnetwork controler with some configuration already deployed (or a config uploaded via ixncfg file) and I discover the config by parsing the complete topology.

For the Multivalue object I need to detect which type of mutlivalue it is:

• singlevalue
• counter
• valueList
• ....etc

There are some @property defined in Multivalue like Pattern, but there is a complex mecanism to hide the real type of Multivalue I would expect to get the real pattern value (MV._properties['pattern']), but instead it returns a string:

• Alt: ...
• Inc: ...
• Dec: ...
• Randr: ..

So I try to access data in the private property mv._properties[] but sometime data is not there..so it raise a KeyError

So for now, I have no other solution than doing some kind of reverse engineering from the string returned by the @property Pattern
