I have been playing with snmpwalk.py.

But it does not work as I would expect.
It may be a fact that my expectations are wrong.

When I run the standard snmpwalk utility as follows I get the following
output.
snmpwalk 10.0.0.253 public .1.3.6.1.2.1.17.4.3.1.3
17.4.3.1.3.0.2.179.136.108.99 = 3
17.4.3.1.3.0.2.179.136.114.68 = 3
17.4.3.1.3.0.6.91.60.22.153 = 3
17.4.3.1.3.0.6.91.60.22.172 = 3
17.4.3.1.3.0.6.91.138.79.13 = 3
17.4.3.1.3.0.6.91.138.79.81 = 3
17.4.3.1.3.0.6.91.138.79.114 = 3
17.4.3.1.3.0.6.91.138.79.125 = 3
17.4.3.1.3.0.6.91.138.79.128 = 3
17.4.3.1.3.0.6.91.138.79.135 = 3
17.4.3.1.3.0.6.91.140.49.95 = 3
17.4.3.1.3.0.6.91.140.50.59 = 3
17.4.3.1.3.0.8.116.144.127.36 = 3
17.4.3.1.3.0.176.208.170.249.105 = 3
17.4.3.1.3.0.176.208.243.101.68 = 3

This is exactly what I expect.

But when I run the following instance of snmpwalk.py I get thousands of
lines of output the first 15 of which are as above.
I would expect snmpwalk.py to stop at this point but it stays walking
through the rest of the SNMP system.


Another example is if I run.
snmpwalk 10.0.0.253 public .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0
I get the system description as expected.

On the other hand if I run
./snmpwalk.py 10.0.0.253 public 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0
I get lots of output none of which is the system description.

If anybody can help I would apreciate it.
