Extend Data class to a StructuredTextParser #201

Open tjduigna opened 4 years ago

tjduigna commented 4 years ago

Either a subclass of Data, or a cleverly configured Data object should serve as an example of how to leverage pandas and the Data API to provide a flexible and extensible structured text parsing system.

Taking another look at this. Would it make sense to put a load method on Numerical, and then inherit some pd.read_csv behavior like we've talked about elsewhere?

rdmontgomery commented 3 years ago

Oh haha this doesn't make much sense because Numerical is pre-pandas intro to the setup. Yea, glad I'm asking rather than coding.

Maybe got a little confused about how issue numbers and branch names are supposed to work in this repo, but I opened a baby PR to get the conversation moving. https://github.com/exa-analytics/exa/pull/219

tjduigna commented 3 years ago

Hey, thanks for opening a PR! Since this issue was mostly a stub, we can flesh out some design over there.
