Hi Stefano,

The best solution would be of course to fix pysmi code generator [1] to
behave. ;-)

On the other hand, if you won't include the autogenerated code into your
package, the code generation would happen just once at run time - the
autogenerated module would get cached on the file system and loaded from
there ever after.

Theoretically, not pinning Python MIB in your package has an advantage
of letting pysmi pulling newer ASN.1 MIB and turning it into Python
whenever newer MIB revision becomes available.
