Python tools for working with the Phoenix event dataset (phoenixdata.org).
##Requirements
PyPhox currently requires requests and lxml. This will hopefully change
in the near future. Running pip install -r requirements.txt should work.
##Usage
To see the full commandline options:
python pyphox.py -h
To download all of the daily update files:
python pyphox.py -t daily -d /path/to/directory
PyPhox will automatically unzip all of the downloaded files unless explicitly
told not to through the -U flag. An additional feature is the ability to
download files in parallel as indicated by the -P flag:
python pyphox.py -t daily -d /path/to/directory -P
PyPhox will only download files that don't currently exist in the indicated
directory. In other words, the program won't re-download files.
Finally, you can also specify a data version using the -v flag. The only
version supported at the moment is current. This is also the default argument
so this option can be safely ignored for now.
