Do you have any other alternativ beside Udp6SocketTransport Pysnmp

Question

I am trying to make a program that can use IPv6 in Pysnmp and I already read a lot from google and so on.

And I always found that people use Udp6SocketTransport. but the problem is this class does not work on all platform and I need it so it might work on Windows and Linux.

Can anyone help me?

IPv6 support in pysnmp is fully dependent on its platform support. So if Udp6SocketTransport class works on one platform but does not work on another - chances are the platform lacks IPv6 support.

Could you check that:

>>> import socket
>>> socket.has_ipv6
True
>>>

?

Thank you for your answer. But I want info/examples on how to access IPv6 with Pysnmp both on windows and linux. Please do the needful. (Note: Error pysnmp.error.PySnmpError: IPv6 not supported by platform) – user1913520 Mar 19 '13 at 08:21

Have you installed IPv6 into your Windows machine? I assume it's a Windows XP.

Yes, with normal cmd. I can ping other website with IPv6 and I can also ping my other PC with IPv6 and the only problem is that I cannot connect to other IPv6 with Method Udp6SocketTransport. – user1913520 Mar 19 '13 at 17:11
Does your Python installation supports IPv6? What is the value of the "socket.has_ipv6" flag? – Ilya Etingof Mar 22 '13 at 17:10
