Well the good news is that, with the help of a colleague, I was able to get the bindings to work properly. When I compiled from source on ubuntu 7.04 and then installed the python egg it could not find libnetsnmp.so.15 when I did an import from ipython.
My colleague used ldconfig to link the path to libnetsnmp.so.15 in: /usr/local/lib/libnetsnmp.so.15 then I was working. I also tried to get this to compile on OS X and OS X server and had some big issues, but that isn't really the top of my list right now as I usually work from an ubuntu shell as I have come to not count on OS X having things up to date that I would expect work on a linux box. Now, I am in the process of writing some test python code to query a Cisco router. Since I will be working on this project for quite a while and need to be an expert on python and SNMP, I will volunteer to help as much as possible. If we have a wiki for the python bindings, I can put what I learned up so far. As for the separate mailing list, it might encourage more python programmers to get involved as there is quite a bit of traffic on this list that is not related to my problem :) Of course, that is being selfish, but well...I am a little selfish sometimes.
