Its now good, but i dont see any other good way :/

The default (if you don't change os.environ) would be the most recent
installed version.

But if we don't have a way to select one of the installed version, it
would be impossible to install programs that depend on different
versions. That would be a severe restriction.

What do you think about using the module names pysnmp for pysnmp4 and
pysnmp[23] for the older versions?
