Eurostat

Package is a simple interface for parsing data from Eurostat:

  • deaths counts
  • population sizes

To import and fetch data, simply write

import eurostat_deaths

Function deaths() fetches the deaths, function populations() fetches the populations. Use them such as

Deaths

from datetime import datetime
import eurostat

data = eurostat.deaths(start = datetime(2019,1,1))

Parameter start sets the start of the data. The end is always now().

You receive per-week data of deaths. Since the total size of the data frame is about 218 MB, call taes more than 15 minutes. The usage of memory is significant.

In the future, module will be reimplemented to use Big Data framework, such as PySpark.

The data can be forwarded directly to file. Give the function a filename by parameter output.

from datetime import datetime
import eurostat

data = eurostat.deaths(output = "file.csv", start = datetime(2019,1,1))

Parameter output = None causes that the output is collected into a single dataframe and returned.

One additional setting is chunksize to set the size of chunk, that is processed at a time. The unit used is thousands of rows.

Population
