I use a slightly improved version of it in web2ldap for the built-in
X.509 certificate/CRL parser.
There are some issues with the CNRI license which prevents this module
to be shipped with Debian Linux. See http://bugs.debian.org/80195 for a
discussion about it.
Jeremy, the author of picses, already planned to negotiate a more
liberal license with CNRI. A similar license issue was solved for Python
itself before. But AFAIK no progress so far.
I have to look into module pysnmp.ber. Found some old conversation with
Ilya in my archive about implementing a ASN.1 module...
(In the year 2000! time is running...!)
Ciao, Michael.
