#162 Way to (easily) get number of arches inside inventory (cfpy.

Could there be added an easy way to get the number of archtypes inside a player's inventory? (not nrof of coins, etc, just the number of specific arch objects inside the inventory) via cfpython?

I would say that this would be best to impliment at the same time as implimenting things like this as itterables for the python side. This would enable things like:

num = ob.inv.count()

to get the number of objects, or things like:

for ob2 in ob1.inv:
#do stuff

which would be much cleaner.

Does your request mean
- "how do i count how many items a player has in inventory"
or
- "how do i count how many items of a specific archetype a player has"
or
- "how do i count how many different archetypes are in the player's inventory"
?

first would be like like:
inv = player.Inv;
count = 0;
while inv:
count++;
inv = inv.Below;

second would look like:
inv = player.Inv;
count = 0;
while inv:
if inv.ArchName == 'namebeinglookedfor': [or "inv.Archetype == arch" if you got the archetype you're searching for in arch]
count++;
inv = inv.Below;

third would be more complex, probably with a dictionary to accumulate different archetypes found

(hasn't been tested, but that's the general logic)
