Basic SNMP engine

The pysnmp.session module defines the session class, which implements SNMP engine capable to send and receive SNMP messages over TCP/IP network.

The session class subclasses the message class (which implements SNMP message building/parsing) so public attributes of message class become available to user of session class.

The pysnmp.session module itself defines the following items:

session(agent[, community])

Returns a new instance of the session class, representing SNMP session with the SNMP process running on host agent.

The default value for SNMP community name community is "public".

Instances of the session class can be reused for performing a number of SNMP requests to the same SNMP party.
