write_entries result in an empty file

[CyrilWaechter]

Hi,

I tried to use rsparam to write entries but the result file is empty of any entry.

Test code used : 

import rsparam
src_file = "shared_parameters.txt"
encoding = "utf_16_le"
entries = rsparam.read_entries(src_file, encoding)
rsparam.write_entries(entries, src_file, encoding)

Result txt file :

# This is a Revit shared parameter file.
# Do not edit manually unless you know better!
*META	VERSION	MINVERSION
META	2	1
*GROUP	ID	NAME
*PARAM	GUID	NAME	DATATYPE	DATACATEGORY	GROUP	VISIBLE	DESCRIPTION	USERMODIFIABLE

Note : when I read entries it works without any issue. I get many entries with all suitable parameters.

Did I misunderstood how write_entries works ? I peeked into the code but I do not understand yet what is going wrong.

I ran it with pycharm debugger and saw what was happening :

• read_entries return a SharedParamEntries which hold a list of SharedParamGroup and a list of SharedParam.
• write_entries read a list of SharedParamGroup and/or SharedParam but not a SharedParamEntries
  It seemed more logical to me as they are both named entries that write_entries would accept SharedParamEntries. I'll send you a proposal by pull request.

@CyrilWaechter Hey seems like PR #3 solved this issue right? Would you mind testing and closing this if it works?

[CyrilWaechter]

Yes, it solves this issue. That's why I referenced it in my PR.
Thanks for merging and pypi update.
