PySNMP: ASN.1: Introduction

### ASN.1 framework

The pysnmp.asn1 package implements a generic framework for representing ASN.1 (Abstract Syntax Notation One) data types as Python objects.

The ASN.1, BER and other standards have been developed by the International Telecomunication Union (ITU) and can now be freely downloaded. There is also a freely available Layman's Guide to a Subset of ASN.1, BER, and DER.

This package contains the following modules:

- ASN.1 framework
  - Base classes for ASN.1 objects
  - ASN.1 universal data types
- Error handling
  - Package-level exceptions

...and sub-packages:

- ASN.1 data serialization methods
