SEEL is MODELED >>> MODELED Objects Damn Easily Load and Emit Data

The SEEL API attempts to make the following tasks as simple as possible:

• Spawn a local CLI or connect to a remote CLI through SSH
• Send commands to the CLI and verify their returned output with Regular Expressions
• Specify Pythonic APIs for those commands
• Extract relevant data from their output via Regular Expressions and turn them into useful Python data types and structures
