I am wondering if this package shouldn't be named just "snmpclitools",
like upstream. In fact, contrary to the Python modules named
python-<something>, here the fact that it is Python is just an
implementation detail. Look at package/circus or package/crudini for
example.

And then of course, instead of being in the Python modules section, it
should be in the Networking tools section. And have a proper depends on
BR2_PACKAGE_PYTHON || BR2_PACKAGE_PYTHON3 (depending on which one is
applicable, or both).

Thanks!

Thomas
