The asyncio module offers similar functionality +but uses much more modern and powerful language facilities. Functionally, +asyncio can replace asyncio in PySNMP however its use requires understanding +the concepts such as coroutines and generators. If your task is to embed SNMP +stack into an existing asyncio-based app, using PySNMP's asyncio interfaces +greatly simplifies the task. + +Older applications (Python 2.6+) can alternatively use +`Trollius <http://trollius.readthedocs.org/>`_ instead of asyncio. Trollius +is a backport of asyncio so it `supports </examples/current/v3arch/trollius/index.html>`_ nearly the same API as asyncio. Full support of both modules is +built into pysnmp. + +All SNMP-related functionality of Native PySNMP API to Standard SNMP +Applications (`RFC3413 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3413>`_) +remains available to asyncio-backed applications. + +Command Generator Applications +------------------------------ + +.. toctree:: + + /examples/v3arch/asyncio/manager/cmdgen/snmp-versions + /examples/v3arch/asyncio/manager/cmdgen/modifying-variables + /examples/v3arch/asyncio/manager/cmdgen/walking-operations + /examples/v3arch/asyncio/manager/cmdgen/transport-tweaks + + +Command Responder Applications +------------------------------ + +.. toctree:: + + /examples/v3arch/asyncio/agent/cmdrsp/snmp-versions + +Notification Originator Applications +------------------------------------ + +.. toctree:: + + /examples/v3arch/asyncio/agent/ntforg/common-notifications + + +Notification Receiver Applications +---------------------------------- + +.. toctree:: + + /examples/v3arch/asyncio/manager/ntfrcv/transport-tweaks + +For more details on PySNMP programming model and interfaces, please +refer to the documentation + + |
