Installing EasySNMP on windows - encountering some error about easysnmp HOT 4 CLOSED

Thanks, @kamakazikamikaze =)

@rfonacier Sorry that I didn't see this sooner. Windows is currently not supported. I have tinkered in the past with getting it to work with VC but I was not able to make much progress.

If you are interested in looking into it, you can view the few commits I was able to make in my Win32 branch. However I must say that I am not confident that we can get it working.

@kamakazikamikaze Are you still not supporting Windows?

Hi from 2020!
As a first step, I built Net-SNMP 5.7.1 under Windows 10.
With the help of #32 and several minor fixes, I built and installed EasySNMP 0.2.5. But there's a strange issue with a simple test script I can't resolve.

from easysnmp import Session session = Session(hostname='10.1.7.130', community='public', version=2) location = session.get('sysLocation.0') print( location )
If I launch this script from command line, it doesn't work:

C:\Python\eLearning>python easytest3.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "easytest3.py", line 2, in
session = Session(hostname='10.1.7.130', community='public', version=2)
File "C:\Python\lib\site-packages\easysnmp-0.2.5-py3.8-win-amd64.egg\easysnmp\session.py", line 280, in init
self.sess_ptr = interface.session(
easysnmp.exceptions.EasySNMPConnectionError: couldn't create SNMP handle

But, if I open and run the script in IDLE x64, everything works perfectly!
_=================== RESTART: C:\Python\eLearning\easytest3.py ==================
<SNMPVariable value='WP-106' (oid='sysLocation', oid_index='0', snmp_type='OCTETSTR')>

Why is this difference between running a script from command line and from IDLE ? Any libraries, timeouts, settings, etc ?
