PySNMP Error: pysnmp.smi.error.SmiError

问题

I am running a Python program on a Windows XP machine. When I run the program, I get the following error:

File "C:\Python27\lib\pysnmp\smi\builder.pyt, line 230, in loadModules...
pysnmp.smi.error.SmiError: MIB file "SNMPv2-MIB.py[co]" not found in search path

The file SNMPv2-MIB.py is currently located in C:\Python27\Lib\pysnmp\smi\mibs. Does anyone know how I can solve this?

回答1:

if a mib is missing make sure you have performed a pip install pysnmp-mibs first if you used pip install pysnmp.

I just ran into the same issue. I filed a bug for it and included a patch: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3204704&group_id=14735&atid=114735

As Sivakumar says, the reason it's failing is because pysnmp is looking for MIBs with a .pyc or .pyw extension. pysnmp gets these extensions from imp.get_suffixes(). Based on the way pysnmp deals with the extensions returned from this function, the .pyw entry will overwrite the .py entry. The fix I proposed will simply ignore the .pyw extension.

If you install the library from the .egg it should work fine because the .egg includes compiled (pyc) MIBs.

You are not able to load the MIB file.

Can you check :

>>> print builder.MibBuilder().getMibPath()

Usually this should be ok as the mib instances should be in

pysnmp/smi/mibs/instances

Code where error is raised in builder.py

if not self.__modSeen.has_key(modName):
    raise error.SmiError(
        'MIB file \"%s\" not found in search path' % (modName and modName + ".py[co]")
            )

Usually this should get solved by calling setMibPath on the mibBuilder instance before calling loadModules.

Since the path you are getting

C:\Python27\lib\pysnmp\smi\mibs\instances, 
C:\Python27\lib\pysnmp\smi\mibs, 
C:\Python27\lib\pysnmp_mibs

Why don't you move the file to one of these directories? The place where it is currently located

C:\Python27\Lib\pysnmp\smi\mibs

is not among the paths that you got via builder.MibBuilder().getMibPath()

I ran into the same issue (with pysnmp-4.2.5). I generated my own MIB python file using:

build-pysnmp-mib -o IF-MIB.py /usr/share/mibs/ietf/IF-MIB

on RHEL6 (build-pysnmp-mib does not work on RHEL5 as it requires libsmi version > 0.4.5 and RHEL5 just has this version while RHEL6 has 0.4.8).

Then I copied the generated file IF-MIB.py into the directory where the other python MIB files of pysnmp are located, (/.../site-packages/pysnmp/smi/mibs/)

Today i too face this same issue. The mibs path is correctly set. While running the pysnmp in debugging mode, i am able to found that it is expecting a SNMPv2-MIB.pyc or .pyw file.

Since i have unzipped the pysnmp from source and using it, the corresponding pyc file for the mib module is not available in that folder structure. I havent tried compiling the corresponding .py files available in the pysnmp-4.1.13a\pysnmp\smi\mibs\instances or pysnmp-4.1.13a\pysnmp\smi\mibs, instead i used the easyinstall script to download the pysnmp module.

With the egg file, now the issue is not coming.

Thanks Sivakumar
