This project consists mostly of TextFSM templates and a testing methodology to ensure new commits provide the expected output. There is another small section to assist with using CliTable to parse command output into TextTable and convert the TextTable into a list of dictionaries. Using this is documented in the README.md file

Whereas you have documented the code you are using, I am still not sure what you are actually trying to do. The code raises the error above is from TextFSM; if your use case is outside of what is supported by this project, then you will need to raise an issue with the appropriate group.
