ANN: pandaSDMX v0.2.1 released

[Dr. Leo]

Hi,

I am pleased to announce the release of pandaSDMX v0.2.1. This is an
important feature release. Support for zip files has been added to the
get API. And zip files are automatically downloaded from Eurostat if the
original request yielded a message with a footer containing a link to
such zip file generated on demand. This happens when requesting large
datasets. Moreover, the pandas writer parses more time-period formats.
The documentation has been extended.

For more details visit http://pandasdmx.readthedocs.org.

Enjoy!

Leo


About pandaSDMX:

pandaSDMX is an Apache 2.0-licensed Python package aimed at becoming the
most intuitive and versatile tool to retrieve and acquire statistical
data and metadata disseminated in
SDMX format. It works well with the SDMX services of the European
statistics office (Eurostat) and the European Central Bank (ECB). While
pandaSDMX is extensible
to cater any output format, it currently supports only pandas.
