[Pkg-net-snmp-devel] Bug#509562: libsnmp-python: Annoying debug information in netsnmp.snmpwalk()

[Sven Velt]

Package: libsnmp-python
Version: 5.4.1~dfsg-12
Severity: important

Hi!

There is some debug information/code (at least I think so) left in
/usr/share/pyshared/netsnmp/client.py which breaks my application.

Small patch (also attached):

             else:
                 var_list.append(Varbind(arg))
-    for var in var_list:
-        print "  ",var.tag, var.iid, "=", var.val, '(',var.type,')'
     res = sess.walk(var_list)
     return res

>>> import netsnmp
>>> netsnmp.snmpwalk('sysDescr', Version=1, Community='public', DestHost='localhost')
   sysDescr  = None ( None )
   ('Linux schnuffi 2.6.28-rc3-32-toi #3 SMP Wed Nov 12 16:05:26 CET 2008 i686',)
>>> foo = netsnmp.snmpwalk('sysDescr', Version=1, Community='public', DestHost='localhost')
   sysDescr  = None ( None )
---------- snip ----------

The "sysDescr  = None ( None )" lines shouldn't be there.

As you can see in
http://net-snmp.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/net-snmp/trunk/net-snmp/python/netsnmp/client.py?revision=16858&view=markup
the bug is (as of today) not fixed upstream.

Thanks!
