cant import netsnmp in python on centos 6.5

I am trying to use netsnmp in python but it is unable to import after following all suggestions related to netsnmp in python. I installed netsnmp using below commands

yum install net-snmp net-snmp-utils
easy_install ipython

snmpd service is running. It still throws this error

ImportError: No module named netsnmp

I am using Cent os 6.5 and Python version 2.6.6 Kindly help if installation is incorrect or any other configuration is missing.

Solution

  • To import netsnmp in python only net-snmp-python is required both net-snmp net-snmp-utils can be removed. so just 

    yum install net-snmp-python

    will do for importing netsnmp library into python on Cent os 6.5

    yum install net-snmp net-snmp-utils

    will enable SNMP queries from Linux terminal. Both can work independently.
