I did some research on this topic some time ago. That's the results, as far as 
I remember:

To me, pySNMP looks fine (feature and license-wise). It is a pure-python 
package, and the ASN.1 package can be used independently from the rest of the 
pySNMP package, and it has a reasonable size (~100 k). They also implement 
(as far as I understand it) not only the snmp-parts of ASN.1 (or their BER 
encodings), but try to be generic. On the other hand, I have never tried this 
package...

The package and docs are located on sourceforge:

http://pysnmp.sourceforge.net/docs/3.4.x/asn1/index.html

BTW. pysnmp is also used in twisted...
