A pure-Python implementation of SNMP v1/v2c/v3 engine with complete protocol support and asynchronous I/O.
What is pysnmp?
PySNMP is a pure-Python SNMP library that implements SNMP v1, v2c, and v3 protocols for building network management applications. It provides a complete SNMP engine, SMI framework for MIB handling, and support for authentication and encryption. The library solves the problem of integrating SNMP functionality into Python projects without relying on external C extensions or proprietary tools.
Network engineers, system administrators, and Python developers who need to implement SNMP managers, agents, or monitoring tools in pure Python environments.
Developers choose PySNMP for its full RFC compliance, pure-Python implementation that avoids native dependencies, and built-in support for modern features like asyncio and strong SNMPv3 encryption. Its extensible architecture and detailed documentation make it suitable for both simple queries and complex SNMP applications.
