Roadmap

Background

Ilya started this project and worked on the 1.0-4.0 releases.

Ilya left his ideas on the future of the project in the TODO.txt file.

LeXtudio Inc. took over the ecosystem during the 5.0 release cycle after its initial announcement.

Now the Python landscape has changed a lot due to frequent Python releases and breaking changes in each of them. The PySNMP project needs to adapt to the new reality and provide a better user experience. So after a few successful releases such as 6.x and 7.0, we decided to plan the future of the project as below.

7.1 Releases

The goals are

  • Adapt to async DNS queries.
  • Rework on GET NEXT and GET BULK related API surface.
  • Fix more known issues reported in the past few years.

Planned tasks are

  • Introduced async DNS queries.
  • Identified how the new GET NEXT and GET BULK related API should be designed.
  • Adapt to Python 3.8 end of life.
  • PEP 8 cleanup on method names.
  • TODOs

Breaking changes are

  • Transport type construction API is completely changed to support async DNS queries.

    For example, calls to UdpTransportTarget() need to move to await UdpTransportTarget.create().

  • next_cmd and bulk_cmd parameters and return types are revised.

  • walk_cmd and bulk_walk_cmd are updated accordingly.

8.0 Releases

The goals are

  • Remove legacy bits related to Python 3.8.
  • TODOs
