print entire interface XML from CRUDService, crud.read.

[benicetomeok]

This seems like this should be an easy one... but, I am unable to print the entire XML using the variables I've just created....

Is the original xml included in the 'interface_configuration' variable below?  I'm not discovering it in the dictionary.

If I'm going about dumping the interface wrong, how do I do it using this or similar modules?

I have figured out how to print individual values from the interface_configuration, like interface-name.

What I mean is this....

from ydk.services import CRUDService

from ydk.providers import NetconfServiceProvider

from ydk.models.cisco_ios_xr import Cisco_IOS_XR_ifmgr_cfg as xr_ifmgr_cfg

provider = NetconfServiceProvider(address="abc.123.com",

                                      port=830,

                                      username="me",

                                      password="password",

                                      protocol="ssh")

crud = CRUDService()

interface_configurations = xr_ifmgr_cfg.InterfaceConfigurations()

interface_configuration = crud.read(provider, interface_configurations)

## Now how do print the XML

print  what???

	provider.close()
	exit()

The print should be the massive <interface-configurations> xml tree.

Similar to: (not all shown)

	<interface-configurations xmlns="http://cisco.com/ns/yang/Cisco-IOS-XR-ifmgr-cfg">
	<interface-configuration>
	<active>pre</active>
	<interface-name>POS0/4/0/0</interface-name>
	<description>CORE OC48 to po0/1/0/0-abc.123</description>
	<cdp xmlns="http://cisco.com/ns/yang/Cisco-IOS-XR-cdp-cfg">
	<enable/>
	</cdp>
	<mtus>
	<mtu>
	<owner>pos</owner>
	<mtu>4567</mtu>
	</mtu>
	</mtus>
	<ipv4-network xmlns="http://cisco.com/ns/yang/Cisco-IOS-XR-ipv4-io-cfg">
	<addresses>
	<primary>
	<address>123.456.789.000</address>
	<netmask>255.255.255.252</netmask>

... and all the rest of the interfaces...

Thanks for any help you can give on this.
