Hi all,

currently developing some template-less services and i have encounted this issue, does any one know how to work around this 

escape the 'import' part of the yang model some how ??

vrf.rd = mgmt_ip + ':' + vpn_id
vrf.route_target.export.create(asn + ':' + vpn_id)
vrf.route_target.import.create(asn + ':' + vpn_id)

If a node name in the YANG model clashes with a python reserved word like import, you should be able to escape it by prepending the namespace name followed by a pair of underscores. So for example if your script is running against devices using the ios-cli NED, you would replace 'import' with 'ios__import'.
