Expected result in Python of an exists() on an boolean leaf

[lweddewer]

Hello,

I want to use a leaf type boolean:

leaf active {
    type boolean;
}

What is the expected result of the exists() function a leaf of type boolean?

I get a error message "'bool' object has no attribute 'exists'."

That's not what I expect! :(

Hi Lothar,

Reading a boolean leaf using maagic will return True or False (native Python type) if the leaf exists.

If it doesn't exist the return value will be None.

Hi Tomas,

thank you for your reply.
I was somewhat struggled because I changed a former implementation based on a empty leaf towards the a boolean because I needed the three stats "not set", "true" and "false".
Reading the Maagic API discription coming with nso I expeted to handle a boolean as a NonEmptyLeaf() Class object.
