Python 2.2.2 (#1, Oct 15 2002, 13:18:41)
[GCC 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.3 2.96-110)] on linux2

snmpget comes with pysnmp (http://pysnmp.sourceforge.net/).

Use snmpwalk and friends from netsnmp (or equivalent) to get a
list of available oids and to translate the symbolic names to
the dotted notation required by pysnmp.

Hope that helps,

Bill
