I've used pysnmp (http://pysnmp.sourceforge.net/) in a test environment for 
a while.  Only the manager side, never tried to implement an agent.  It's 
pure python, so it's very portable.  In theory, that also means it's not 
very fast, but for what I've ever wanted it for, it was plenty fast enough.

The latest NetSNMP release apparently now includes a python binding 
(http://www.net-snmp.org/docs/NEWS.html).  I have not had a chance to use 
it, but it sounds good.
