RUCKUS One Python SDK

[Type]: Network SDK
[Language]: Python
[Focus]: API Development

> Overview

A comprehensive Python SDK for the RUCKUS One network management system, providing a Pythonic interface to manage enterprise wireless and wired infrastructure at scale. This SDK transforms complex REST API interactions into simple, intuitive Python methods while maintaining full API coverage.

The project includes an innovative CLI tool with an interactive "network switch-like" mode that mimics the familiar command-line experience of physical network devices, complete with tab completion, command history, and contextual help - bringing the best of both worlds together.

Key Innovation: Modular architecture with intelligent OAuth2 token management, automatic retry logic, and comprehensive error handling makes this SDK production-ready for enterprise deployments managing thousands of access points and switches.
