Hi For a project I need to fiddle with snmp. I did a search on google and an I have found a lot of mailing list archives about twistedsnmp and pysnmp. All these post seems very old (more than 4 years old), and out of fashion. Can some one tell me what people are using these days to plain with snmp ? Thanks for your suggestions. -fred- -- Fred C!

Hi Fred, Check out libsnmp: http://www.seafelt.com/libsnmp. It works with twisted, but can also be used without it. For an example of how to use it with twisted, see the code at: http://www.seafelt.com/software/seafelt-daily/sources/, specifically lib/seafelt/poller_snmp.py. I wrote libsnmp, and have plans to merge it into twisted proper (which has been discussed on this list recently), but doing so is likely to take a while. -- Justin Warren <daedalus@eigenmagic.com>

The big problem with twistedsnmp is that it does not support officially pysnmp 4, does not work with pysnmp 2, works with pysnmp 3 which does not exist any more and is optimized for an hybrid version pysnmp-se 2.5. The other drawback is that it is not maintained any more and the upstream seems to be unresponsive. Aside Justin suggestion, you can also look at pynetsnmp which is maintained by the ZenOSS project. This one only supports manager-side. And documentation is a bit scarce. -- Make it clear before you make it faster. - The Elements of Programming Style (Kernighan & Plauger)
