The python module is, as you know, bound to the Net-SNMP internal
library... So you need it on the system to be able to compile and
install the python module (this binding is what gives such a speed
improvement; early tests resulted in about a 10x increase over the
other SNMP python modules).

But, the module itself does not need to be in the source directory of
net-snmp to build and install (unless I'm wrong, of course).

If you have a patch you think would help the module either in how it
works or how it is built, please do submit it to our patch database!!!

hmm... that does seem odd. Giovanni is probably the best person to
answer this question, but I suspect he's busy till at least next week.
