in the absence of docs - need some real world, readable examples #383

Thanks for submitting an issue!

Versions

Note: --all switch is not accepted.

CPython 3.7.7 (default, Mar 13 2020, 10:23:39) [GCC 9.2.1 20190827 (Red Hat 9.2.1-1)]

Note: the second line is in error. it is missing the cat command and that file does not exist on Fedora

I expect that in the absence of documentation that there would be working examples for 0.6.4 that a normal human being can read. Your examples make too many assumptions about familiarity,

I need to understand how to do standard E-T-L. Can I do transform against anything other than a tuple?

But more importantly, is this project dead? It does not seem that any meaningful changes have been made in quite a while. At least on the master branch.

I like the concepts you present. But I am concerned about fighting too hard about its usage.

Keep in mind I will eventually have offshore junior resources doing work with it.

Thanks for some great conceptual design work anyway!
