* Package name : pysnmp-se Version : 3.5.2 Upstream Author : Mike Fletcher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : https://sourceforge.net/projects/twistedsnmp/ * License : BSD Programming Lang: Python 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...)
