Upgrade to 0.1.0 (from previous python release) broke string data about snmp_exporter HOT 6 CLOSED

No version of this exporter has ever supported string values.

I can guarantee that it worked before the upgrade to the Go version.
I installed the Go version 8:26 PM November 23rd 2016.

That must have been by accident due to a quirk of the Python language and netsnmp python bindings. Even with string support, we're unlikely to support PDUs like this that are using an inappropriate type.
