Hi Craig, Either we don't have enough details about net-snmp, or you're trying to push for not-valid-yet-another-exception. Could you explain exactly what this perl module bug is? How is this related to a Python package? Why would we make an exception with net-snmp? Please re-read the excellent contribution from Neil Williams in this thread, and explain again why we have a special case... :) Thomas
