Netmiko 2.4.2 failing for TextFSM

See original GitHub issue

One of our servers was patched recently I am guessing and it appears to have broken Netmiko. We are running version 2.4.2 of Netmiko and 1.1.0 for TextFSM. Everything I can find says this issue was fixed in 2.4.1 but that doesn’t seem to be the case here. The server is running RHEL 7.7.

Seems to be solved now. I uninstalled textfsm via pip but there were still a couple of files left behind on the /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/textfsm/ directory.

ls -l /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/textfsm/
total 80K
drwxr-xr-x.   2 root root  43 Nov 12 16:56 .
drwxr-xr-x. 177 root root 12K Nov 12 16:56 ..
-rw-r--r--.   1 root root 31K Apr 15  2015 textfsm.py
-rw-r--r--.   1 root root 32K Jan 23  2019 textfsm.pyc

Once I deleted those and the directory and installed textfsm again everything seems to be working as expected. Thanks for the help.

Yeah it is weird because all of those files exist. I will see what I can find out.
