No, but I understand the question. Python has had considerable
success with test tools, by the way. On the other hand, SNMP
has become such a minor niche that its technologic implementations
depend heavily on historical accident. The right combination of
expertise-resources-need-... simply hasn't occurred for Python-
based SNMP.
I'll repeat: Tcl is the basis of Scotty, which, while largely
unsupported now, remains quite usable. Perl is in a somewhat
more primitive condition. I don't know of any other high-level
language which can effectively boast of the ability to write SNMP
agents.
