#2

Did you still want to include the info on the scraper? Or perhaps a caveat about it actually taking a long time to run?

Also noting the $ python3 <filename> command with macs. Python novice here, so wasn't immediately apparent the difference between the commands "python" and "python3".

I think some language describing in better detail where the congress data should exist in the repo before you run the scripts would be nice. Also, some documentation on expected output when scripts are run successfully and unsuccessfully.

I've updated this. It may still need more detail. Feel free to add.

Yes, there's probably a good section to write on Python. We should probably recommend using a Python version manager like pyenv venv and setting the environment to Python 3. We need to check if there are dependencies that are not in plain Python 3, and add those. We also require a minimum Python 3.7, I think because I'm using type hints. Can you research these details and add a section on Python?

Can you do this, based on your experience and the documentation in the scripts?
