Quick Info
----------

What
A pure Python implementation for Python 3.6+ of SNMP without any external
dependencies (neither MIBs or libsnmp).

Why
SNMP in itself is simple and well defined. A bit convoluted, but simple.
MIB parsing however complicates the code-base and is *technically* not
required. They add typing information and variables and give names to OIDs.
All existing libraries have a direct or indirect dependency on libsnmp.
With all the advantages and disadvantages.

The aim of this project is to focus on SNMP in itself and provide a very
simple API. Instead of implementing ASN.1 parsing, the SNMP related ASN.1
and information is hard-coded (keeping in mind that all that's hard-coded is
well defined).

It is of course possible to *wrap* this package in another package adding
MIB parsing and processing. This is, and will be however **out of the scope
of this project**!

Development & Maintenance
-------------------------

The easiest way to get started it to use the provided "development container" in
the ``.devcontainer`` folder. When using VS-Code with the `Remote Development
extension`_ it will be picked up automatically when opening the project. If not,
open the command-console and select ``Remote-Containers: Rebuild Container`` to
get started.

Type ``./env/bin/pytest`` to ensure that everything is set up properly. It
should run and pass all unit-tests.

This will provide a container with all required dependencies for development.
**Including** a tiny SNMP daemon on hostname ``snmpd`` which can be used to play
around with.
