Pynps

Pypi release is updated. Upgrade with pip using:
>pip install pynps --upgrade

Changelog

- add --print/-p argument, with this argument pynps will print (encoded in unicode, to avoid issues with cmd and terminal with strange characters) any search you make and exit, it's ideal for people looking to redirect a search into a text file ba15ea7e494c27148d6c81433b7af35934530130


the following will search for all games in psvita and redirect the output to output.txt
pynps -Gpc psv _all > output.txt

the following will search for all spyro games and dlcs in psp and redirect the output to spyro.txt
pynps -GDpc psp spyro > spyro.txt

or you can just print the above without saving the output
pynps -GDpc psp spyro

Windows binary available
There's now a 64bits Windows binary available for download, you'll neet to get a 64bits wget.exe from [here](https://eternallybored.org/misc/wget/) or any other place you wish, you'll also need to grab the latest pkg2zip_64bit.zip from [lusid1's releases](https://github.com/lusid1/pkg2zip/releases). Here's what you'll need to do:

Extract the windows .zip release to any folder you wish, open the extracted folder and drop wget.exe and pkg2zip.exe inside the `pynps_config/lib/` subfolder! All you need now is run pynps.exe from CMD, you might also want add pynps.exe to your PATH so you can run it with "pynps" command, [here's a good tutorial](https://www.howtogeek.com/118594/how-to-edit-your-system-path-for-easy-command-line-access)

Easily stop and resume downloads!
It's now possible to save a download session to be resumed latter using the -R/--resume argument, more info in this video (I'll also upload some videos for the README.md tutorials):
[](https://asciinema.org/a/ejP7umPphXTSxiYKBi8JiCOgF)
The database file that keeps up with your downloads is inside `/home/$USER/.config/pyNPS/database/downloads.db`, in case something goes wrong you can delete it and always open an issue here on github!

A change of flow...
Before ths update pynps work would flow like this:
Assuming you're downloading 1)sonic, 2)crash and 3)spyro:
* Downloads 1 -> Checksum 1 -> Download 2 -> Checksum 2 -> Download 3 -> Checksum 3 -> Extract 1 -> Extract 2 -> Extract 3

From this and future updates, due to changes realted to resuming downloads (and keeping up with what was downloaded or not), it now flows like this:
* Downloads 1 -> Checksum 1 -> Extract 1 -> Downloads 2 -> Checksum 2 -> Extract 2 -> Downloads 3 -> Checksum 3 -> Extract 3

Atention
Distro specific releases deprecated
I won't be doing distro specific releases anymore (aka no .rpm and .pacman packages anymore), but pynps will still be distributed as binary here and it's now available at [pypi](https://pypi.org/project/pynps/), therefore it can also be installed with pip:
>pip install pynps

New database system
Starting with this release pynps will use [SqliteDict](https://github.com/RaRe-Technologies/sqlitedict) for all its database operations.

Strides were made in improving database performance in this release, with some drawbacks:

TL;DR: search is now way faster, updating database is now slower.

- Cons
* updating database 6x slower: updating the entire database will take ~172 seconds versus ~30 seconds in last release.
- Pros
* reading from the database is 17x faster: reading the entire database will take ~0.3 seconds versus ~4.9 seconds in last release;
* reading and printing the database is 8x faster: reading the entire database will take ~8 seconds versus ~60 seconds in last release;

The entire database now resides in a single file inside `/home/$USER/.config/pyNPS/database/pynps.db`

Optional manual intervention needed
The user should delete every folder inside `/home/$USER/.config/pyNPS/database/`, since the .tsv files there are deprecated.


Changelog
Note: the [README.md](https://github.com/evertonstz/pynps/blob/master/README.md) got updated to document the new features.
- new arguments

--games could be called with -dg, now you can also use -G
--dlcs could be called with -dd, now you can also use -D
--themes could be called with -dt, now you can also use -T
--updates could be called with -du, now you can also use -U
--demos could be called with -dde, now you can also use -E

Now the user can more easily do searches like this (more info on README.md):
this searches for sonic games and demos in the psvita database
>pynps -GEc psv sonic

- add support for multiple region inputs e41058b7573f83dde10593d73925225052393769

this will search for sonic in the psvita american database

this will search for sonic in the psvita american and japanese database

the following command was how the app worked before this update, this still applies for this new version
