what’s the best option for using SNMP with twisted?

I think that PySNMP is the go-to, though it's not too speedy.

hi sorry im asking a lot of questions recently, but is reactor in twisted multithreaded?

by default i mean

twm, I ended up using https://github.com/zenoss/pynetsnmp which worked pretty well after I cleaned up python 3 compatibility here https://github.com/zenoss/pynetsnmp/pull/24

xtech, no

xtech, the reactor is called that after the "reactor pattern"; it's using non-blocking IO with select or epoll or others (OS-dependent)

so it doesn't need multiple threads for IO

it's a somewhat common approach, other things that do this are eg. asyncio, nodejs, or ruby's eventmachine

Huzzah people.

I'm looking to create a long-running Python program that will gather information from a RESTful-ish web API, and manage my own database that compiles and presents that information. Would the Twisted framework be a good core for that sort of endeavor?

Volund: sure

hrm.. so I'll be using Twisted for my main loop/async (assuming I understand it well enough...), I want an HTTP/2 client connected to the web API and I've found a few good-looking examples of that. I've figured out how to process a bunch of bytes into a string, then load to JSON, and convert to Python objects (list/dict/etc). ... All that's left is figuring out what sort of database wizardry would be best for this.
