python3-datacache

helpers for transparently downloading datasets

Description

External data is often distributed as "flat files", i.e. dumps into a mostly human-readable format that one could open as a spreadsheet and equally easy parse and index or reimport into a local database. When the text file changes, the database needs to be updated, too. If access to the database is first required, the text file needs to be downloaded first and the database created. Remote updates also require local updates.

This package provides a set of helper functions to address the handling of remote files and the curation of local databases derived from them.
