A commenter on my previous post directed me to the module CiscoConfParse which would have likely made this a much easier exercise. Even so, this was a great exercise for me to go through, as it allowed me to learn a new programming language.
I’ll still post my solution to this problem, along with the supporting files. The first file below is the Python script. Running it with a –h option will show you the proper format for the parameters. The supporting file “verification.txt” is also listed below. It describes the format to use for the verification seed file.
If you happen to see anything wrong with this script, or room for improvement, please share your thoughts via comment or email. I am always looking to learn, and I know there is room for improvement in my Python programming!

I've been attempting to do a bit of Python lately for network admin type tasks and just came across your blog. Thanks for sharing your script!
