There is a BER implementation in Python, from Ilya Etingoff (I think that 
this is the name...) You can find a link to it on the Vaults of Parnassus. 
BTW that was the library that addicted me to Python; my work does involve a 
lot of network management stuff.

I've written a object oriented class library that maps OIDs, tables or even 
parts of the MIB tree to a class. I've promised to send my implementation 
to Ilya last September, but since then I was not able to make it.

Another thing that I did was to explore some alternatives for a faster and 
safer snmpget implementation, mainly for large tables. One of the problems 
was to find safe ways to do a partial fetch of the table (for example, with 
selected columns only). Some agents also implement only part of the table, 
which makes it a bit harder. I have some working code also.
