Background

datasoap originated from a Code Fellows 401 Python midterm project. The project team includes Alex Angelico, Grace Choi, Robert Carter, Mason Fryberger, and Jae Choi. After working with a few painful datasets using, we wanted to create a library that allows users to more efficiently manipulate clean datasets extracted from CSVs that may have inconsistent formatting.
