SNMP library for Python
=======================
.. toctree::
:maxdepth: 2
PySNMP is a cross-platform, pure-`Python <http://www.python.org/>`_
`SNMP <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Network_Management_Protocol>`_
engine implementation. It features fully-functional SNMP engine capable
to act in Agent/Manager/Proxy roles, talking SNMP v1/v2c/v3 protocol
versions over IPv4/IPv6 and other network transports.
Despite its name, SNMP is not a really simple protocol. For instance its
third version introduces complex and open-ended security framework,
multilingual capabilities, remote configuration and other features.
PySNMP implementation closely follows intricate system details and features
bringing most possible power and flexibility to its users.
Current PySNMP stable version is 4.3.0. It runs with Python 2.4 through 3.5
and is recommended for new applications as well as for migration from older,
now obsolete, PySNMP releases. All site documentation and examples are written
for the 4.3.0 and later versions in mind. Older materials are still
available under the obsolete section.
Besides the libraries, a set of pure-Python command-line tools are shipped
along with the system. Those tools mimic the interface and behaviour of
popular Net-SNMP snmpget/snmpset/snmpwalk utilities. They may be useful
in a cross-platform situations as well as a testing and prototyping
instrument for pysnmp users.
PySNMP software is free and open-source. It's being distributed under a
liberal BSD-style license. PySNMP development has been initially sponsored
by a `PSF <http://www.python.org/psf/>`_ grant.
