Description : speed enhanced Python SNMP library for agents and managers
PySNMP is a Python implementation of SNMP v.1/v.2c engine; both 2.x
and 4.x branches of PySNMP are available in Debian.
.
PySNMP-SE (Speed Enhanced) is a fork of the PySNMP 3.4.x branch with
various speed enhancements, the most important being the replacement
of string-based OIDs with tuple-based OIDs.
.
This makes PySNMP-SE slightly incompatible with PySNMP.
I'm packaging pysnmp-se only as a dependency of python-twisted-snmp,
which unfortunately hasn't yet been completely ported to python-pysnmp4
(and whose author is not currently interested in completing).
An alternative solution can be to include pysnmp-se in the
python-twisted-snmp package directly. I think the solution of packaging
pysnmp-se separately is better for a couple of reasons:
- the projects are split in separate upstream packages and have
different upstream versions
- pysnmp-se packages have been made available also in other
distributions (not really a reason, just an additional experience...)
Cheers.
