The instructions for Cent5/6 should be updated to install an older version of Twisted prior to installing snmposter via pip.

wget http://twistedmatrix.com/Releases/Twisted/13.2/Twisted-13.2.0.tar.bz2
bzip2 -d Twisted-13.2.0.tar.bz2
tar -xvf Twisted-13.2.0.tar
cd Twisted-13.2.0
python setup.py install
cd ..
