build-pysnmp-mib versus mibdump.py #21

Closed truthadjustr closed 6 years ago

truthadjustr commented 6 years ago

What I thought as the older obsolete tool, was able to convert my MIB file to its .py equivalent:

build-pysnmp-mib -o MYMIB.py MYMIB.mib

Whereas, the newer mibdump.py gave an error:

mibdump.py --destination-format=pysnmp --destination-directory=`pwd` ./MYMIB.mib

Is there something wrong in the MIB or in mibdump.py?

I believe rfnSiemRogueApDetectorTableEntry should start with a capital letter to be compliant with the SMI language. Is it your own MIB you are designing or is it a bug in some vendor MIB?

I would not use build-pysnmp-mib because libsmi-generated Python code used to be flawed in many ways. :(
