First release IkLeerBIM Dynamo API helper (micro) Package

While writing Python code in Dynamo I still seem to use my own LookUp Node a lot. And that is despite multiple very appreciated well known tools and websites. All these work best, because a lot of people did contribute their little something. That's how this train moves. So today I want to contribute my tiny little something.

But why do I use this LookUp Node and not something else?

First of all every situation is different. And everybody works differently. But most of the time I simply do not want to leave my scripting environment. And that is Dynamo. Secondly I want to know what actually works - no surprises. And remember I am foremost a Revit user, so the way I approach a Revit problem might be slightly different than a professional programmer. And this Node is a real easy and straight forword way of working with Python in Dynamo.

Really world changing technology right? 

Ahh not exactly... It is more like a smart dir() function, with some extra. But .. it works. Simply give the Node something to chew on. And it will return all the attributes with values, all methods, all BuiltinParameters with values, the BuiltinCategory and the Class. It is possible to search, clean or even extend the outcome with readable names. I would say, give it a try. I love it, it might work for you too.

Thanks to the community who provides countless means to examine and learn new things. Parts of the code came from everywhere. Like the Clockwork Package, Dynamo Forum, The Building Coder etc. Thanks all. This is my small contribute back.

Just a few teasers on what this node does.
And remember, this Node is basically a temporary LookUp node. It is not build to use it as a part of script. But why would you. Use it to build your own Python script. Have fun.

This node eats almost everything and shows the class of the input

Just give this node a list or a single item. It will flatten everything and uses only the first index. 

It will clean the output for empty / null etc. values. Unless you want to see everything off course. 

Sometimes you simply want readable names. But most of the times you do not...

Because it slows down a little.
And if you know what you are looking for, you simply use the Case Insensitive search.
