Build Yang data model

I wanted to reach out and see if anyone has had any success taking the plain .txt based running-config from enterprise network gear and through Python or other coding method converted it to a yang data model to use for automated network management?

As most folks do we have a large deployment of multiple vendors as I am working on building our automation solution and one key step in this is to get away from "old school' config management and move toward model-driven configuration management. This will require hand converting what can't be pulled through NetConf and RestConf method already. We've already automated several tasks such as large scale local break-glass account resets, large scale updates such as ACL's and Vlans but we have many other items that are much easier to accomplish with model-driven configuration management.

Preferred language for this would be Python as that is what I am comfortable developing in, however, I am not opposed to learning other languages as well.
