    """|Tecplot Engine| State and |Tecplot License| Management

    The `session` module contains methods used to manipulate the |Tecplot Engine|
    such as notification of a `state change` that was done such as adding or
    modifying data. It also contains methods for acquiring and releasing the
    |Tecplot License|.

    .. _state change:

    State Changes
    -------------

    State changes are the method for propagating information when an event occurs.
    A state change can be triggered by many events. Examples include: loading a
    data file, changing the color of a mesh plot, creating a new zone, or changing
    the plot type.

    In general, state changes are already handled internally after each call to the
    PyTecplot API. This can cause a script that performs many operations,
    especially those that alter data, to run slowly since the |Tecplot Engine| must
    update it's internal state every time a state change is received. To speed up
    such scripts, it may be necessary to use the `tecplot.session.suspend()`
    context. This will collect state changes for any operation performed and will
    emit the required state changes only upon exit of the context.

    Using the `tecplot.session.suspend()` context in combination with Python's
    "-OO" flag which removes many run-time checks in the PyTecplot API is the
    recommended way to run a PyTecplot script which requires faster execution
    time. The user should be aware that, when using the "-OO" flag, errors may
    not be recoverable by the |Tecplot Engine|.
