Pysnmp for windows IDE

[novice20]

Hi,

I am working with python2.4 on windows, and want pysnmp to be imported.

Have downloaded pysnmp-4.1.14a.tar.gz and pyasn1-0.0.12a.tar.gz and put it under

D:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\. Still i am getting the import error.

from pysnmp.entity.rfc3413.oneliner import cmdgen
ImportError: No module named pysnmp.entity.rfc3413.oneliner

What should I do to make pysnmp importable?

Python's importer does not understand .tar.gz files. You should uncompress the files with 7zip and install the modules properly.

Alternately, you can extract them with python

import tarfile
tar = tarfile.open(mode= "r:gz", fileobj = open("path_to_tgz_file", "rb"))
tar.extractall("path_to_folder_where_to_extract") # for example "."

@ Gribouillis.
Thank you. I extracted the files using 7zip before putting it under site-packages.

I still got the import error.
So, I navigated to D:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\pyasn1 and just tried running the module setup.py (i.e., I gave Run module in the IDE). It showed the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "D:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\pyasn1\setup.py", line 42, in ?
    apply(setup, (), params)
  File "D:\Python24\lib\distutils\core.py", line 137, in setup
    raise SystemExit, gen_usage(dist.script_name) + "\nerror: %s" % msg
SystemExit: usage: setup.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] ...]
   or: setup.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...]
   or: setup.py --help-commands
   or: setup.py cmd --help

error: no commands supplied

You should use python setup.py install in a cmd tool. Also you should first move the pyasn1 folder somewhere else on your computer. The setup.py will copy the necessary files to site-packages automatically (you need administrator privileges). Also read the README and INSTALL files if any.

From CMD. easy_install pysnmp .
To do this you need to install Setuptools
Or as Gribouillis posted from CMD navigate to folder for unpack files and write python setup.py install

>>> import pysnmp
>>> dir(pysnmp)
['__builtins__',
 '__doc__',
 '__file__',
 '__loader__',
 '__name__',
 '__package__',
 '__path__',
 'majorVersionId',
 'version']
>>> pysnmp.version
(4, 1, 15)
>>>

As Gribouillis suggested, I moved pyasn1 and pysnmp to D:\Python24\ in my PC.

at command line, i used

import os
os.chdir('D:/Python24/pyasn1')
python setup.py install

it's still giving me
syntax error in line 1.

I saw that setup.py has the following interpreter line
#!/usr/bin/env python

I am not understanding where am I going wrong

[snippsat]

import os
os.chdir('D:/Python24/pyasn1')
python setup.py install

This is wrong.
Do you know what cmd is?

When you have unpacked files you need to navigate to that folder in cmd.
Then use python setup.py install .
This is one way.

The other are using setuptools as postet before.
It took my 15sek to install pysnmp with setuptools.
This is also done in cmd and not in IDLE easy_install pysnmp

#!/usr/bin/env python

This is only for linux,on windows you dont need that line.

Hi,

Was anyone able to get easy_install pysnmp to work with python 2.7.1 and easy install 2.7 on windows? I get the following errors.

Yes as you see in my post over that it work,i use python 2.7
You get this Download error: [Errno 10065]
This mean that pypi can be down or problem with port/firwall on your pc.

You can download from pysnmp website and not use easy_install.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pysnmp/files/pysnmp/2.0.9/
Then you use python setup.py install .
