yapsnmp: Yet Another Python SNMP module

yapsnmp is a Python SNMP module based on the net-snmp (formerly known as ucd-snmp) library. It's composed of a low level interface to the library, created using SWIG, and a higher level python module removing all the complexity out of dealing with SNMP.

Here are a list of the key features the module currently supports:

You're only requirements are Python (tested with version 1.5.2) and net-snmp (only tested with version 4.1.2)

First public release available on SourceForge, see download section for details.

Examples

Perform an SNMPv1 walk on the system tree (result is a tuple of tuples):

yapsnmp.Session('router45-ny').walk('system')
Obtain ifHCInOctets.12 and ifOperStatus.12 in one packet using SNMPv2c:

yapsnmp.Session('tapioca', version=2).get('ifHCInOctets.12', 'ifOperStatus.12')

Stability

I'm running some code based on yapsnmp that collects 4 million variables per day, has been doing so for over a month without a single problem.

Licensing

The yapsnmp software is distributed under the terms and conditions of the Free Software Foundation's LGPL.
