So, you have got a SMIv2-compliant Agent available via SNMPv2c protocol?

This is certainly possible.

Are you going to manage SNMP table at some distant SNMP Agent with your
pysnmp-based SNMP manager? I guess you can do that then.

If I got you correctly, it's feasible with both v1 and v2 arch of pysnmp.
Though, the v3arch has a very-high-level API what would make it much more
easer for you work with.

That's true.

You may want to read pysnmp tutorial (for pysnmp-4.x)

http://pysnmp.sourceforge.net/docs/4.1.x/index.html

and experiment with pysnmpset tool from pysnmp-apps package.
