SUMMARY
------------------------------------------------------
Guest utility to wrap arnied related functionality through python calls.

.. note:: Partially DEPRECATED! Use :py:mod:`pyi2ncommon.arnied_api` or
          :py:mod:`pyi2ncommon.cnfvar` whenever possible. In particluar, do not
          use or extend functionality regarding configuration (`get_cnf`,
          `set_cnf`).

Copyright: Intra2net AG

There are three types of setting some cnfvar configuration:

1) static (:py:class:`set_cnf`) - oldest method using a static preprocessed
   config file without modifying its content in any way
2) semi-dynamic (:py:class:`set_cnf_semidynamic`) - old method also using
   static file but rather as a template, replacing regex-matched values to
   adapt it to different configurations
3) dynamic (:py:class:`set_cnf_dynamic`) - new method using dictionaries
   and custom cnfvar classes and writing them into config files of a desired
   format (json, cnf, or raw)
