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. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
