Answer 1

PyEZ has Config utility which allows you to add configuration and commit it. You can supply your config in the following formats:

• "conf","text","txt" is curly-text-style
• "set" - ascii-text, set-style
• "xml" - ascii-text, XML
• "json" - ascii-text, json

So you don't have to build rpc on your own.

Below is simple example:

from jnpr.junos import Device
from jnpr.junos.utils.config import Config
dev = Device(host='somehost', username='username', password='password')
dev.open()
dev.bind(cu=Config)
set_command = []
ip = ['172.30.0.0/24', '172.30.1.0/24']
for i in ip:
    set_command.append(
       "set policy-options policy-statement new term 1 from route-filter {} exact"
       .format(
           i.rstrip("\n")
       ))
set_command.append("set policy-options policy-statement new term 1 from protocol static")
set_command.append("set policy-options policy-statement new term 1 then accept")
set_command.append("set policy-options policy-statement new term default then reject")
print set_command
rsp = dev.cu.load("\n".join(set_command), format='set')
print dev.cu.diff()
if dev.cu.commit_check():
   if dev.cu.commit():
       print "Done"

You can use PyEZ to edit/set any hierarchy (allowed to the script user) in Junos configuration residing on the RE.
