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.
