[Bug]: pysmi's mibdump no longer supports generating PySNMP code for MIB instances

[grondman]

Expected behavior

I expect the mibdump tool to be able to generate code for MIB instances, as explained at https://docs.lextudio.com/snmpresponder/mib-implementation/.

Actual behavior

The flag used in the docs (--destination-template) no longer exists in the current implementation of mibdump (pysmi-lextudio 1.4.2). The source for mibdump which converts to PySNMP output still shows the use of a dstTemplate variable, but there's no longer any way to set it through the regular mibdump tool.

Is it still possible to generate code for MIB instances at all with mibdump or is it advised to simply write it yourself?

We found this both a documentation issue and code merge issue. Will work on it later.

PySMI 1.4.3 was just released with the missing command line switch. You might test if that helps.

The documentation is still out-of-date, and we will see into that in the coming weeks.
