get session from manager

[cbueche]

This is not really an issue but more a question: if I create a manager using something like this m = M(host=devicename, community=...) but I need the session to do a session.get() or session.walkmore(), how can I recover it ?

I'm using session = m._session._session but it looks a bit ugly to me. Any advice ?

I don't see why you would need to have _session._session. But otherwise, no, there is no better way.

Thank you Vincent for your quick answer, I should have explained me better. The reason is, (within Agent-Jones) for 99% of my SNMP get and set, I use MIBs and the pythonic interface:

for index, operstatus in m.ifOperStatus.iteritems(): use(index & operstatus)

but in one place, I want to allow a SNMP get/walk on an oid passed as parameter :

http://url/aj/api/v1/oidpump/192.168.20.60/get/1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0 http://url/aj/api/v1/oidpump/192.168.20.60/walk/1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.1

Or Is there a way to do this using a manager ?

That's not possible with the manager. So, your way of doing it is the better way. I don't want to provide an "official" way because it would mean that I have to maintain some stability guarantee on the session API. I didn't intend for people to use it (but many do).

That's ok, I can live with this workaround. Thanks again for your support !
