Feature request: add to Device a method that returns a dictionary of SMART attributes #92
Description
Hi @ralequi ,
In this comment: #86 (comment)
you mentioned that it should already be possible to access the properties of the Device class as a dictionary via dict.
However using e.g.
sudo python3 -c 'import pySMART, pprint; pprint.pprint(pySMART.Device("/dev/sda").__dict__)'
I noticed that the Device class dictionary does not contain any "temperature" key, just an empty "temperatures" (plural) key.
Instead the output of
sudo python3 -c 'import pySMART, pprint; pprint.pprint(pySMART.Device("/dev/sda").__getstate__())'
does include the "temperature" attribute (populated with valid data). However using a non-documented getstate() function from 3rd party programs does not seem a stable/solid solution.
Thus my question is: would you consider adding to Device() class a method that returns all SMART attributes as a dictionary?
I think this would simplify usage from other utilities. Thanks!
