Pip install on windows is not enough

[Benik3]

Hello.

On windows the simulator can't be simply installed with pip install snmpsim. I had to download the repository and run python setup.py install from the folder to get the simulator to work, which I found accidentally in issue #14 . This setup file is not included in the pip installation. The download version must be same (last release is now 0.4.6, on pip is 0.4.5)

It took me a while to figure it out. Would be nice to have it in wiki or working pip installation.

After successful install I found, that SNMP-error 1 (TooBig) is not possible to simulate, but never mind :D

Thanks for reporting this!

If you happen to come up with a PR fixing the issues you've run into, I'd happily merge it. ;-)

[GhostofGoes]

What's the specific issue you're having? And what version of Windows, Python, and Pip were you using?

It works for me on Windows 10 with Python 3.7 and Pip 18.1, though the scripts will try to open in a new window by default.

[etingof]

though the scripts will try to open in a new window by default.

I am thinking to finally move these scripts to entry_points. I wonder if this would make them better citizens on Windows...?

Windows 10 1803 Pip 18.01 and 19.0.1 tested Python 3.7.2

When I install it through Pip and try to run it, I got this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\d-benes\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\Scripts\snmpsimd.py", line 763, in <module>
    with daemon.PrivilegesOf(procUser, procGroup):
AttributeError: module 'snmpsim.daemon' has no attribute 'PrivilegesOf'

Maybe it can be connected with antivirus? We have Kaspersky, but I can't disable it on this machine...

[etingof]

Oh, no! That's a bug hopefully fixed in master (by commit e1878acaa41bd79761ebc73ab21431e365d98d57). I wonder if you could try it out before I release the fixed version?

[Benik3]

Now I got this (without the setup install). If I run setup.py it works ok as before. Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\d-benes\Desktop\snmpsim-master\scripts\snmpsimd.py", line 41, in <module> from snmpsim.error import SnmpsimError, NoDataNotification ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'snmpsim.error'

EDIT: running pip install C:\Users\d-benes\Desktop\snmpsim-master works also OK

[etingof]

Thank you for testing that! I assume that properly installed master version works alright for you.

The bug you've encountered has been introduced in 0.4.6.

[Benik3]

No problem, thanks for your work :)

[etingof]

After successful install I found, that SNMP-error 1 (TooBig) is not possible to simulate, but never mind :D

Yup, that bit seems to be missing in pysnmp and (subsequently) in snmpsim. We should probably approach this from pysnmp side...

[etingof]

This setup file is not included in the pip installation. The download version must be same (last release is now 0.4.6, on pip is 0.4.5)

One more thing: is this ^ resolved or something still needs to be done about it?

[Benik3]

Should the snmpsim-0.4.6-py3.7.egg folder in C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\Lib\site-packages create automatically? If yes, that the pip installation in 0.4.6 is same as in 0.4.5.

But for some reason, I'm not able now to run 0.4.6 even with the manual run of the setup.py. After install I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\d-benes\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\Scripts\snmpsimd.py", line 4, in <module>
    __import__('pkg_resources').run_script('snmpsim==0.4.6', 'snmpsimd.py')

This is how the whole installation looks like:

@etingof Yes, setuptools entrypoints are much better behaved on Windows. It would likely fix most of these issues, in addition to being slightly cleaner (snmpsimd versus snmpsimd.py).

This is coming! Thanks!

AttributeError: module 'snmpsim.daemon' has no attribute 'PrivilegesOf'

This should be fixed in the latest released snmpsim.
