Overview

SurveyHelper is a Python 3 package currently under development. It will provide utilities for analyzing and visualizing survey data. It is initially geared at reading surveys in from Qualtrics by parsing a .qsf file and a response file. At present, it creates html frequency reports using d3.js.

Example usage:

import surveyhelper as sh

p = sh.QsfParser("my_qualtrics_file.qsf")
c = p.create_codebook()

for label in ['Q1', 'Q2', 'Q3']:
    c.questions[label].exclude_choices_from_analysis(['Not applicable'])

for label in ['Q2', 'Q3']:
    c.questions[label].change_scale('ordinal')

c.questions['Q1'].reverse_choices()
c.questions['Q1'].change_midpoint(2)

# Remove initial numbering from question text
for label, q in c.questions.items():
    q.text = re.sub(r'[0-9]\. ','', q.text)


r = sh.ResponseSet("my_qualtrics_responses.csv", c)
f = sh.FrequencyReport(r, 'config.yml')
f.create_report()
