from bgpdumpy import BGPDump, TableDumpV2

with BGPDump('latest-bview.gz') as bgp:
    for entry in bgp:

        # entry.body can be either be TableDumpV1 or TableDumpV2
        if not isinstance(entry.body, TableDumpV2):
            continue  # I expect an MRT v2 table dump file

        # get a string representation of this prefix
        prefix = '%s/%d' % (entry.body.prefix, entry.body.prefixLength)

        # get a list of each unique originating ASN for this prefix
        originatingASs = set([
            route.attr.asPath.split()[-1]
            for route
            in entry.body.routeEntries])

        # just print it for demonstration purposes
        print('%s -> %s' % (prefix, '/'.join(originatingASs)))
