What's next

Currently I'm thinking of several things in mind:

• Making this installed package
• Adds accessibility to use it in FaaS Platform (most use case I could thought of are related to this)
• Create a proper package that can be imported (so I could use it in my ETL script)
• Fill in LICENSE and setup.py, (to be honest I have no idea yet what to put into it)
