Retrieving values

Since values are stored as Node objects, object retrieval will look something like this:
PYNDatabase.Node.Node.val

val is a variable which contains the value of the Node, and is linked to the original dictionary object.

To retrieve a dynamic object, you can use the get method.

 The get method is also the only way to retrieve values which contain characters not in the alphabet (+the underscore character).

This way, you can avoid writing code like this:

eval(f'PYNDatabase.Node.{name_of_node}.Node.val')

Command Usage:

PYNDatabase.get(name)

PYNDatabase.Node.get(name)

Examples:

 Static value retrieval

from pyndb import PYNDatabase
db = PYNDatabse('filename.pyndb')
db.set('hello', 'world')
print(db.hello.val) # <--

Dynamically retrieving a value

from pyndb import PYNDatabase
db = PYNDatabse('filename.pyndb')
db.set('123', 456)  # Note that the value type doesn't matter

# This will work...
print(db.get('123').val) # <--

# But this will not.
print(db.123.val)

Storing a Node inside a variable is also a great option!

from pyndb import PYNDatabase
db = PYNDatabse('filename.pyndb')
db.set('hello', 'world')
hello = db.hello # <--
print(hello.val)
