pyControl download_file

Wow, this twisted my brain for a few minutes, but fortunately it turned out to be pretty easy. So here's what is going on: one of the attributes that's being set on the response data is named 'return', which is obviously a python keyword! To get the data, do this:

 The return data is base64 encoded so we'll need to decode it to see anything useful.
import base64
ret = cs.download_file(file_name='/var/tmp/foo.txt',chunk_size=65536,file_offset=0)

Now, if you look at that 'ret' object, you'll see that it's got two attributes set: ret.file_offset, and ret.return. To get a that second guy, do this:

fdata = getattr(ret,'return').file_data
print base64.b64decode(fdata)

So once you do the b64decode you can write it out like a normal file, etc.

Hope this helps,
