    Hello Python Team,

    It looks like the current upstream[1] of pysnmp has been unmaintained
    for a while and got forked [2].

    FreeBSD has done some adjustments to pysnmp and the related packages
    because of that [3][4], as the current version seems broken in Python 3.9.

    What is your opinion on updating these packages to use the forked upstream?

    I cced Julien specifically because I saw he was working on pyasn1
    yesterday.

    Hi Luiz,

    Sorry, I've got no knowledge of / interest in pysnmp at the moment.
    (I only did a drive-by upload of pyasn1-modules yesterday because I was
    looking at RFC3161 and that was missing in the version in sid.)

    Cheers,
    Julien

    Then I will have a go at it tomorrow.

    Thanks for the input.
