Printing net-snmp getbulk results with newlines at each index
Question: I have the following Python code:

    
    
    #!/usr/bin/python
    
    import netsnmp
    
    session = netsnmp.Session(DestHost='_destination address_', Version=2, Community='_string_')
    
    vars = netsnmp.VarList(netsnmp.Varbind('ifIndex',), netsnmp.Varbind('ifDescr',), netsnmp.Varbind('ifOperStatus',))
    
    print(session.getbulk(0, 48, vars))
    

The results of `session.getbulk` are as follows:

    
    
    ('1', 'Vlan1', '1', '2', 'Vlan2', '2', '10101', 'GigabitEthernet0/1', '2', '10102',
    'GigabitEthernet0/2', '2', '10103', 'GigabitEthernet0/3', '2', '10104', 
    'GigabitEthernet0/4', '2', '10105', 'GigabitEthernet0/5', '2', '10106', 
    'GigabitEthernet0/6', '2', '10107', 'GigabitEthernet0/7', '2', '10108', 
    'GigabitEthernet0/8', '2', '10109', 'GigabitEthernet0/9', '2', '10110', 
    'GigabitEthernet0/10', '2', '10111', 'GigabitEthernet0/11', '2', '10112',  
    'GigabitEthernet0/12', '2', '10113', 'GigabitEthernet0/13', '1', '10114', 
    'GigabitEthernet0/14', '1', '10115', 'GigabitEthernet0/15', '2', '10116', 
    'GigabitEthernet0/16', '1', '10117', 'GigabitEthernet0/17', '2')
    

I would like to print the information returned by `session.getbulk` on a
newline per each interface. If my understanding of my program is correct, I
should get three values for each interface, (`ifIndex`, `ifDescr`, and
`ifOperStatus`.)

As it stands, the results are presented in a single block of information, and
it may be hard for my audience to differentiate between.

However, being totally new to programming I am having a hard time figuring out
how to do this. If anybody is willing to point me toward an appropriate
tutorial or documentation for this, I'd much appreciate it.

Thanks!


Answer: If I am understanding you correctly, I think this is what you want?:

    
    
    result = session.getbulk(0, 48, vars)
    for i in range(0, len(result), 3):
        print "ifind: "+result[i]+" ifdesc: "+result[i+1]+" status: "+result[i+2]
