eav support in export_records about pycap HOT 4 CLOSED

I don't have the REDCap API docs nearby, can you provide what the corresponding cURL command looks like to export records in EAV? It would likely be a small addition to the parameters Project.export_records passes along.

from pycap.

Sorry I didn't find cURL example. The following is a RcURL example:
raw_text <- RCurl::postForm(
uri = redcap_uri
, token = token
, content = 'record'
, format = 'csv'
, type = 'eav'
, rawOrLabel = 'raw'
, exportDataAccessGroups = 'true'
, .opts = RCurl::curlOptions(ssl.verifypeer = FALSE)
)

from pycap.

Yes type needs to be passed in the POST parameter, do you feel comfortable making this change and submitting a Pull-Request? Following additions will be necessary:

1. Add a type argument in Project.export_records. I would default it to whatever the value is "non-EAV" to maintain backwards compatibility.
2. It would be nice to add a small example in docs/deep.rst in the section around exporting records.

Definitely I will be glad to do these.
