Intro

Net-SNMP 5.4 and later contains Python bindings in the "python" sub-directory. They are not built by default. See python/README for further details.

Example Usage Ipython is the best way to get your feet wet with new libraries in python. Assuming you got Net-SNMP to compile correctly and the egg to work:

{In [1]: import netsnmp

In [2]: var = netsnmp.Varbind('sysDescr.0')

In [3]: res = netsnmp.snmpget(var,

  ...: Version = 1,
  ...: DestHost = 'localhost',
  ...: Community='public')

In [4]: print res ('Linux machine.pretendco.com 2.4.7-10lpc #1 Tue Nov 13 03:44:18 EST 2001 i686',)}
