Since all you want is the output why do you care if it's written in Python?
I don't think there is a Python one specifically, I think at least one of the
SNMP projects claims to be working on one but I'm not going to hold my
breath.  If you really do want Python functionality you may be able to use
something like libsmi (http://www.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/projects/libsmi/) - the MIB
compiler can generate XML which you can parse with Python or it can apparently
even generate Python dicts (though I haven't tried it and don't know what you
actually get).  Libsmi is one of the better known (and trusted) packages but
I'm sure there's others with similar functionality.

Actually, I'm not really sure what you mean by 'tables' - MIB compilers etc.
are still a bit of a mystery to me so I may have misunderstood what you're
looking for.
