I am trying to write a script that will perform GET/SET commands on my device. While I have tried to do GET action on sysDescr (which is part of the standard MIB SNMPv2) I managed to get a response. I have tried to use the mibdump.py script in several different ways, in order to convert my proprietary MIB files so that I could later on work with them:
activate the mibdump.py on a specific MIB file (see the result) with .mib extension and without

What is the right way to transform my proprietary MIB files into .py files ?
If you are running SNMP management application, you do not really need to compile MIBs explicitly -- pysnmp will do that for you behind the scenes by calling pysmi compiler and caching compiled MIB for future occasions. Here's an example script that does just that.
You problems with mibdump seems to be related to MIB search paths. Given you have your MIB file in currect working directory, this command should do it:
mibdump.py --mib-source . --mib-source http://mibs.snmplabs.com/asn1/@mib@ SL-XPDR
The idea is that you tell mibdump to first check out your cwd, then try the on-line MIB repository (for other MIB files your MIB may depend on).
In your screen paste it looks like paths get corrupted by whitespaces. I'm not sure is it because of cut&paste or you need to quote them at your command-line.
