$ edapy --help
Usage: edapy [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

  edapy is a tool for exploratory data analysis with Python.

  You can use it to get a first idea what a CSV is about or to get an
  overview over a directory of PDF files.

Options:
  --version  Show the version and exit.
  --help     Show this message and exit.

Commands:
  csv     Analyze CSV files.
  images  Analyze image files.
  pdf     Analyze PDF files.

The workflow is as follows:

• edapy pdf find --path . --output results.csv creates a results.csv for you. This results.csv contains meta data about all PDF files in the path directory.
• edapy csv predict --csv_path my-new.csv --types types.yaml will start / resume a process in which the user is lead through a series of questions. In those questions, the user has to decide which delimiter, quotechar is used and which types the columns have.
• edapy generates a types.yaml file which can be used to load the CSV in other applications with df = edapy.load_csv(csv_path, yaml_path).

Example types.yaml

For the Titanic Dataset, the resulting types.yaml looks as follows:

columns:
- dtype: other
  name: Name
- dtype: int
  name: Parch
- dtype: float
  name: Age
- dtype: other
  name: Ticket
- dtype: float
  name: Fare
- dtype: int
  name: PassengerId
- dtype: other
  name: Cabin
- dtype: other
  name: Embarked
- dtype: int
  name: Pclass
- dtype: int
  name: Survived
- dtype: other
  name: Sex
- dtype: int
  name: SibSp
csv_meta:
  delimiter: ','

A sample run then would look like this:

$ edapy csv predict --types types_titanik.yaml --csv_path train.csv
