Small "fix" for Python API

I have been using the Python API with RR and it works beautifully. However, I noticed what might be a small inconsistency in the ReadAll() function. I wonder if it should end with the line:
return data
rather than
print data
I tweaked it for my own copy but thought I'd pass along the suggestion.
In the meantime, I wrote a little function to convert the string returned by ReadAll() to a Python dictionary with the variable names as keys and the values as values. In the function RR stands for my RoboRealm object. Also, I prepend the string "video_" to the variable names but of course you don't have to do that.
import re
def ReadAll(self):
response = self.RR.ReadAll()
response = re.sub("(<response>)|(</response>)", "", response)
values = re.findall("<(?P<VAR>.+)>(.+)</(?P=VAR)>", response)
data = dict({})
for key, value in values:
key = "video_" + key
data[key] = value
return data

Patrick,
Nice! We've added that as a separate routine (just to avoid breaking anyones existing code) by adding that as GetAllVariables which is a nice addition to the API. Its now part of the Python API file.
Thanks very much!
STeven.
