waste_flow version 1.0.1

waste_flow is a python package for retrieving data concerning the waste management of European countries.

Installing

waste_flow is a python package and hence is compatible with all operating systems: Linux, macOS and Windows. The only prerequisite is python3 which is often installed by default. Simply type the following on your terminal:

$ pip3 install --user waste_flow

Or if you want to install it for all users of the system:

$ sudo pip3 install waste_flow

If you do not have pip on your system you can usually get it with these commands (fresh Ubuntu 18-LTS):

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3-distutils
curl -O https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
python3 get-pip.py --user

Usage

Cache

When you import waste_flow, we will check the $WASTE_FLOW_CACHE environment variable to see where to download and store the cached data. If this variable is not set, we will default to the platform's temporary directory and clone a repository there. This could result in re-downloading the cache after every reboot.
