grabbers #60

Open thorwhalen opened 4 years ago

thorwhalen commented 4 years ago

Given the usage success of get_obj, there seems to be a need for quick and dirty data grabbers. You want some no questions asked "just get that stuff and give it to me in a convenient format; make your best guess if you don't know, leave me alone!".

One thing that needs to be done is the general URI store, because that would make source decisions easier to detect and specify.

Then there's postprocessing. How do you want your bytes? When in ipython notebook, perhaps you'd like your Images and Audio as displayable images and audio.

But of course, choices depend on context.

So we should consider that and offer menus and tools to personalize.

An already useful grabber in py2store.my.grabbers since this: https://github.com/i2mint/py2store/blob/463464da068453537fc5d959a485b4d56ee6cee2/py2store/my/grabbers.py
