Can you advice a Python library to query a lan subnet with SNMP and collect MAC addresses of nodes?

I don't know if it's significant, but if I want to process a command's
output using Python, I'll generally use:

nmap -sP | /path/to/script.py

rather than os.system() and temporary files. YMMV though.
