There certainly are other free ASN.1 compilers; however, they tend
|
||
|
to be a bit incomplete.
|
||
|
|
||
|
I have written BER, CER, DER, and a bit incomplete PER
|
||
|
decoding/encoding classes in pure Python. Based on them, I've
|
||
|
written LDAP client and server libraries in Python. However, as they
|
||
|
are developed on the company time, I'd have to talk with my boss in
|
||
|
order to release them.
|
||
|
|
||
|
I'd certainly be interested in a SNACC backend generating Python.
