" summary

Shows how to create a custom SNMP MIB (a text MIB module) and implement a dynamic subagent using the AgentX protocol with Python, using the python-netsnmpagent wrapper around the net-snmp C API. Explains building and exposing bespoke management information via a Python subagent rather than writing C, and points to the GPL-licensed python-netsnmpagent project on GitHub and PyPI.
