Research direction

Start by inspecting the libtmux.Server API and how it handles the "netcat" session name and tmux socket path. Reproduce the issue with the shown Server call and compare it with the working tmux command. Done means the module can create a new detached session on the requested socket, with behavior covered by an appropriate test if the repository provides one.

Description

Hello,
Is it possible to create a new session using this module?
At the moment i have to do a os.system("tmux -S {0}/tmux new -s netcat -d".format(locatie)) to create a new session on a socket. when it seems like libtmux.Server("netcat", "{0}/tmux".format(locatie)) doesnt create a session.
