Get ferret symbol value in Python (Trac #1880) #28

Open karlmsmith opened 8 years ago

karlmsmith commented 8 years ago

Add functionality to get a Ferret symbol value as a Python string. Currently a string variables can be retrieved using something like: 

namesdict = pyferret.getstrdata('..varnames')
for varname in namesdict['data'].flatten():
    ....

but would be nice to be able to just get a simple string directly from the symbol name.

Need to create pyferret.getstring (or getstr?) to return any Ferret single-string value as a Python string.
