Troubles with the Python NET-SNMP bindings

On https://net-snmp.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/net-snmp/trunk/net-snmp/python/README
it says <tag>, <iid>, <val>, <type>

In my case I guess it's supposed to be like:
netsnmp.Varbind("SNMPv2-SMI::transmission::adslLineConfProfile",
str(self.GeneratePortNum(portnum)), str(profilename), TYPE_HERE)

Hower, I cannot find what I am supposed to use for the type string.
I've tried the following: "STRING", "String", "S", "s", none of them
works though.

Setting numeric problems is no problems.

IE, this works:
command = netsnmp.Varbind("IF-MIB::ifAdminStatus",
str(self.GeneratePortNum(portnum)), '1', "INTEGER")

And it sets the value without a problem.

Am I severely lacking on my reading skills? I cannot find what to
enter if it's a string.

I'm using Debian Lenny, libsnmp-python 5.4.1~dfsg-12 if that helps.

On another note:
command = netsnmp.Varbind("IF-MIB::ifAlias",
str(self.GeneratePortNum(portnum)), str(interfacename))

Works, even though I've ommited the type.

Could anyone shed some light on this?
