A tiny Python script that reads an Environment Canada CSV you downloaded and lets you:
- See the available columns.
- Print the first N values from a chosen column.
This is the first milestone (M1). Future milestones will add cleaning, plotting, and summaries.
- Read a CSV file (standard library only).
- List headers.
- Extract the first N values from a specific column.
No external dependencies. Uses Python’s built-in csv and argparse.
- Python 3.x installed.
# Show available columns
python envcanviz.py --input path/to/eccc.csv
# Print the first 5 values from a specific column
python envcanviz.py --input path/to/eccc.csv --column "Temperature" --n 5
