Created attachment 503516 [details] client.py patch Description of problem: The regex in the python binding fails to account for colons in tags. So when attempting a Varbind on 'SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.674.10892.1.300.10.1.11.1' it will be split into a "tag" of "SNMPv2-SMI" and an "iid" of "::enterprises.674.10892.1.300.10.1.11.1" which then fails in a get operation with a core dump. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): net-snmp-devel-5.5-31.el6.x86_64 net-snmp-5.5-31.el6.x86_64 net-snmp-python-5.5-31.el6.x86_64 net-snmp-libs-5.5-31.el6.x86_64 net-snmp-utils-5.5-31.el6.x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.1 (Santiago) Additional info: The attached patch updates the regex to accommodate colons
