The pyNMS package is a collection of Python (and some C) modules for use in
network management applications. It is also useful for testing and other types
of applications.

The package as a whole is currently in development, and much of the top-level
NMS functionality (namely, a GUI interface). But, man low-level modules are
still very useful for custom management scripts.

Some notworthy sub-packages and modules:

SNMP -- An implementation of SNMP v1 and v2c (Manager only now.. but Agent
class just needs to be filled in).
SMI -- A library, based on wrapping libsmi, for parsing and accessing MIB
files.

Devices -- Defines SNMP Manager objects for specific devices. You can create a
class that represent as device, and define which MIBs it supports.

POM -- Python Object Model for XML. This is patterned after XML DOM, but is
more pythonic. It also incorporates some XPath funcionality.

HTML -- Utilities and classes for creating XHTML documents. This is based on
the POM module.


This project is being hosted on Sourceforge.

Looking for feedback and testers.

Have a Great day,
