Now with

python3 should be supported. Could you give it a try and report back how it is working ?

from gevent_snmp.

Thanks for python3 changes. I have tried in my local setup it is working fine.

One thing that i have observed was, it accepts python 2 str (bytes) for peername and community.

Are you planning to create a release with these changes?

Yes and this is intended. The underlying library also requires just a plain char* so no unicode handling at all there. Also SNMP itself has no support for unicode as far as I know.

So image now somebody would do something like this as a community

community = u"\u2603"

How should we convert it to plain bytes ? It is not gevent_snmp responsibilty to know this. It must be the user of the library knowing, how well my device does UTF-8 so I send the snowman as UTF8 encoded bytes.

Hmm currently not. However you can use master for now. We are not planning to make major changes there currently.
