Using alternate Python for script data inputs

[EricLloyd79]

We are trying to do some snmp queries using Python and input the output key-value pairs into Splunk.
We want to use pysnmp to do this.
Pysnmp (or its dependencies) do not come standard with the Splunk python libraries.

I have attempted putting "#!/root/anaconda2/python" in the first line of our script. But it does not read from the Anaconda Python version we want it to. I am concerned if it does, even, are there specific Splunk-related libraries that Splunk needs to handle the output of these scripts that won't be located in the Anaconda python version.

From another similar question, I tried using:

import sys
sys.path.append('root/anaconda2/bin/python')
sys.path.append('/root/anaconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages')

This sorta seems to work but now I'm getting an issue seen below:
ERROR:root:code for hash md5 was not found.

Please, can someone help me figure out how to use the pysnmp (and its dependencies) with a python script in Splunk? Thank you.

Any reason you would not use https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/1537/
Uses pysnmp and has been downloaded something like 15K+ times

Well that looks nice. Im doing what I was told to do and how it was done previously in PHP now in Python.
A deterministic factor is that we have to retrieve the SNMP MIBs based on their ifDesc rather than their index. I don't know if this has that capability. I will have to confirm I have permission to download this app to our indexers and see if its capable.
In the meantime, if there was a solution to use an alternate Python library for Python scripts in Splunk that'd be nice since I've got the scripts created and ready to ingest.
