Is there any documentation for the Python API we got in release 6.0.1?
Yes, see doc/api/python/
Also, for examples (list below from ConfD 6.1), see
examples.confd/intro/1-2-3-start-query-model
examples.confd/intro/5-c_stats
examples.confd/intro/6-c_config
examples.confd/intro/7-c_actions
examples.confd/intro/8-c_stats_no_key
examples.confd/rest/basic
You have access to ConfD Premium I believe, but for others, please note that ConfD Basic does not support the Python API language binding. Only C and Erlang bindings are supported with ConfD Basic
