Loading compiled LLDP-MIB fails with error "'lldpLocManAddrEntry' is not defined"

[AlexLardschneider]

Expected behavior

Trying to load the compiled version of LLDP-MIB (found here) and compiled using

mibdump --destination-directory=compiled --rebuild --quiet ./mibs/common/*

fails with the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/Alex/Developer/Test/venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/pysnmp/smi/builder.py", line 376, in loadModule

    lldpLocManAddrEntry.registerAugmentions(
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
NameError: name 'lldpLocManAddrEntry' is not defined. Did you mean: 'lldpConfigManAddrEntry'?

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

It looks like the compiled version of LLDP-MIB is trying to call the function registerAugmentions on object lldpLocManAddrEntry (like 485), but lldpLocManAddrEntry is first defined on line 819.

Actual behavior

PySNMP should load the compiled MIB file without errors.

This all comes down to how PySMI compiles RMON2-MIB and LLDP-MIB.

While the bugfix won't come sooner as we have other priorities at hand, the workaround is simple enough,

1. Open up LLDP-MIB.py in a text editor.
2. Find the lines that refer to lldpLocManAddrEntry (two sections in total), cut and paste them right behind lldpLocManAddrEntry's definition line.

BTW, please migrate from pysmi-lextudio/pysnmp-lextudio to pysmi/pysnmp. The former packages with postfix are no longer in maintenance.

Close this now as won't work on it in near future.

Should have been fixed in PySMI release 1.5.
