List the variables in a folder?

Python question:

Other than checking all variables and seeing which folder they're in, is there a more elegant way of getting a list of all the variables in a folder?

There's probably several ways to do this, but here's one way:

Code: Select all
for thing in indigo.variables.iter():
   if thing.folderId == 1863978771:
      indigo.server.log(unicode(thing.name))

I came here to drink milk and kick ass....and I've just finished my milk.

Yeah, there isn't an API or filter arg to do this elegantly currently so it has to be brute-force checked.
