I successfully installed pysnmp with yoaurt –S pysnmp, but when I try to execture a scipt with Python 2.7 which has import pysnmp, I get 

$ python2.7 test_script.txt.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test_script.txt.py", line 85, in <module>
    import pysnmp
ImportError: No module named pysnmp

any idea what is going wrong?

This might be too much, distracting oinformation, but my Arch Linux is in a VM and the company has severe restrictions on internet access from the VM. Both pacman and pip errored, but yaourt was successful

packages (1) pysnmp-4.3.1-1

  • I never use Arch but i think you can search the installed package path (rf: stackoverflow.com/questions/22681578/…), then use python -c "import sys; print(sys.path) to know your python's current search path. Then you will know the search path doesn't included your package path. Commented May 11, 2016 at 12:36

Reset to default
1 
sudo -E -- pacman -S python2 python2-pyasn1
yaourt -S python2-pysnmp

The -E on sudo uses the same enironment, which was necessary for me to get through the company's firewall. Omitting it causes a new process to be launched, which did not have network access. D'oh!
