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.
