mCSSMAPI - Mini Cisco Smart Software Manager API

The mcssmapi library is providing access to Cisco Smart Account licensing API with python.

I needed to access licensing portal to get SLR licensing process a little bit easier. I was inspired to create API by great app https://developer.cisco.com/codeexchange/github/repo/CiscoDevNet/smart-license-app/.

# get oauth token
api.bearer_update()

# license definition

licenses = [
       {
           "quantity" : 1,
