Hi,
For the next net-snmp release, I am proposing removing the python modules that link to libsnmp. There are many reasons for doing so including:
* net-snmp is python 2 only bindings
* net-snmp python is synchronous calls only, not asynchronous
* net-snmp is horribly clunky in the way it works
* The pysnmp module, as found in python3-pysnmp4 is vastly better pretty much any way you look at it.
There are no reverse dependencies on the python-netsnmp package. While it's hard to tell, I don't think it is used terribly much and if it is, that use would be better served with pysnmp.
If someone knows about a Debian package needing this module, let me know and I'll endeavour to work with the maintainer to port it across to pysnmp.
