add datastore_get command to dump values from the datastore by key #73

Closed yusefnapora closed 8 years ago

yusefnapora commented 8 years ago

adds a datastore_get subcommand that accepts a multihash key and dumps the result to the console. Tries to use the reader.utils.dump command for nice formatted output and falls back to print if that fails.

usage:

mediachain datastore_get QmTpZY7asg9uMyYVqhKWhyopEnHJXVceCpLWK462fyQhGA

Would like to have called it datastore-get but the add_parser command doesn't have a nice way to rename the dash to an underscore, and the dash would result in an invalid python attribute name. This seemed like the simplest way to go.

Overall good, though some of the things I want to dump are not objects

yusefnapora commented 8 years ago

It works for the raw json blobs, since it falls back to print(str(obj)) if the object dump fails. I haven't tried it on a thumbnail yet tho. I'm guessing that it will work for python 2, since str and bytes are equivalent. Although you'd have to redirect the console output to a file to save the image.
