Very often when building Python maagic scripts or applications, or even within service/action logic, it is cumbersome to manually draft the Python object paths, could the BU add into the ncs_cli or even as a separate standalone tool, which took in XPATH statements generated from the ncs_cli, the auto-generated Python Maagic paths?
admin@ncs# show running-config devices device netsim-ios-0 config ios:interface | display xpath
/devices/device[name='netsim-ios-0']/config/ios:interface/Loopback[name='0']
/devices/device[name='netsim-ios-0']/config/ios:interface/FastEthernet[name='0/0']
