CLI for expansion

[mwarkentin]

It would be nice if there was a small CLI tool available when you installed that would allow you to quickly expand wildcards without having to hop into a python shell. Imagining something like:

policyuniverse expand --action 'swf:res*'
"Action": [
              "swf:respondactivitytaskcanceled",
              "swf:respondactivitytaskcompleted",
              "swf:respondactivitytaskfailed",
              "swf:responddecisiontaskcompleted"
            ]

Alternatively if you wanted to output the full policy:

policyuniverse expand --action 'swf:res*' --resource '*' --effect 'Allow'
{
        "Statement": [{
            "Action": [
              "swf:respondactivitytaskcanceled",
              "swf:respondactivitytaskcompleted",
              "swf:respondactivitytaskfailed",
              "swf:responddecisiontaskcompleted"
            ],
            "Resource": "*",
            "Effect": "Allow"
          }]
      }

I was hoping the same, but for minification ;)

@TryTryAgain Same. I'd like given a policy, make it smaller

[kmcquade]

@mwarkentin - Cloudsplaining does have an expand-policy subcommand. It would be pretty straightforward to also have a minimize-policy subcommand as well

This does sound neat, but since policyuniverse is more of a library than a CLI tool, I'm thinking @kmcquade's plug sounds pretty good. 😉

That being said, I'm more than happy to review a PR (or a proposal) for a CLI.

Shameless plug, but check out my project aws-policy-generator. It uses policyuniverse under the hood to do all the heavy lifting.

Neat, thanks for sharing @jtyers!
