(When) should we introduce csvkit? #15

Closed gvwilson closed 7 years ago

gvwilson commented 7 years ago

csvkit is a set of command-line power tools for working with CSV data, but is not installed by default on any OS.

  1. Should we introduce it?
  2. If so, should we introduce it in the intro course, or use it as an excuse to introduce package installation in the intermediate course?

for context, csvkit changed my life. we wanted to teach how to use in an early iteration of our cleaning data in python course, but back then the windows support for it was lacking; my two cents:

  1. yes
  2. intermediate course; i think it may be slightly niche for the intro course
