Accessing Switch data using Net-SNMP in Python with snmpV3

Question

i m trying to making a snmpV3 manager porgram in python using net-snmp the code is

#!/usr/bin/env python
import netsnmp 

session = netsnmp.Session(DestHost='192.168.1.1', Version=3, SecLevel='authNoPriv',         AuthProto='MD5', AuthPass='password', SecName='user')
vars = netsnmp.VarList(netsnmp.Varbind('ifDescr'))
result = session.get(vars)

print result

But result is a tuple (None,)

Can anyone help me about this ???

Answer 1

I found the solution to my problem. The Python binding for SNMPv3 is available for net-snmp 5.7.1. Install it then go to python/ directory and execute following commands:

python setup.py build
python setup.py install (as a root user)
