This tutorial covers the Python HTTP library, Requests, which can be used to obtain data from the web. We write a Python code that downloads climate data from http://berkeleyearth.org/. The same principle can be used to download files from other urls. I show you how to download the data into a text file. Then we use NumPy to load the text file into a NumPy array. Finally, we convert the data into a Pandas DataFrame. If this sounds like crazy data fun for you, please join us!

The material including the code is on GitHub (https://github.com/GerhardKling/DataW....

I show you how to create and activate a virtual environment (which is optional – but useful to do). We use the pip installer.

If you do not have the pip installer, download get-pip.py. The download needs to be in same path as your Python installation - then change the directory into the folder. Using the command line, type: python get-pip.py, and finally check the installation: pip -V.

To install virtual environments, use: pip install virtualenv

We develop the code step-by-step. This will enable you to learn how to modify the code to suit your specific requirements. Please leave a comment if you have any questions. Python is the way!
