        A Python package for offline access to [vega datasets](https://github.com/vega/vega-datasets).
        
        This package has several goals:
        
        - Provide straightforward access in Python to the datasets made available at [vega-datasets](https://github.com/vega/vega-datasets).
        - return the results in the form of a Pandas dataframe.
        - wherever dataset size and/or license constraints make it possible, bundle the dataset with the package so that datasets can be loaded in the absence of a web connection.
        
        Currently the package bundles a half-dozen datasets, and falls back to using HTTP requests for the others.
        
        ## Installation
        ``vega_datasets`` is compatible with Python 3.5 or newer. Install with:
        ```
        $ pip install vega_datasets
        ```
        
        ## Usage
        
        The main object in this library is ``data``:
        
        ```python
        >>> from vega_datasets import data
        ```
        
        It contains attributes that access all available datasets, locally if
        available. For example, here is the well-known iris dataset:
        
        ```python
        >>> df = data.iris()
        >>> df.head()
           petalLength  petalWidth  sepalLength  sepalWidth species
        0          1.4         0.2          5.1         3.5  setosa
        1          1.4         0.2          4.9         3.0  setosa
        2          1.3         0.2          4.7         3.2  setosa
        3          1.5         0.2          4.6         3.1  setosa
        4          1.4         0.2          5.0         3.6  setosa
        ```
        
        If you're curious about the source data, you can access the URL for any of the available datasets:
        
        ```python
        >>> data.iris.url
        'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/vega-datasets@v1.29.0/data/iris.json'
        ```
        
        For datasets bundled with the package, you can also find their location on disk:
        
        ```python
        >>> data.iris.filepath
        '/lib/python3.6/site-packages/vega_datasets/data/iris.json'
        ```
        
        ## Available Datasets
        
        To list all the available datsets, use ``list_datasets``:
        
        ```python
        >>> data.list_datasets()
        ['7zip', 'airports', 'anscombe', 'barley', 'birdstrikes', 'budget', 'budgets', 'burtin', 'cars', 'climate', 'co2-concentration', 'countries', 'crimea', 'disasters', 'driving', 'earthquakes', 'ffox', 'flare', 'flare-dependencies', 'flights-10k', 'flights-200k', 'flights-20k', 'flights-2k', 'flights-3m', 'flights-5k', 'flights-airport', 'gapminder', 'gapminder-health-income', 'gimp', 'github', 'graticule', 'income', 'iris', 'jobs', 'londonBoroughs', 'londonCentroids', 'londonTubeLines', 'lookup_groups', 'lookup_people', 'miserables', 'monarchs', 'movies', 'normal-2d', 'obesity', 'points', 'population', 'population_engineers_hurricanes', 'seattle-temps', 'seattle-weather', 'sf-temps', 'sp500', 'stocks', 'udistrict', 'unemployment', 'unemployment-across-industries', 'us-10m', 'us-employment', 'us-state-capitals', 'weather', 'weball26', 'wheat', 'world-110m', 'zipcodes']
        ```
        
        To list local datasets (i.e. those that are bundled with the package and can be used without a web connection), use the ``local_data`` object instead:
        
        ```python
        >>> from vega_datasets import local_data
        >>> local_data.list_datasets()
        
        ['airports', 'anscombe', 'barley', 'burtin', 'cars', 'crimea', 'driving', 'iowa-electricity', 'iris', 'seattle-temps', 'seattle-weather', 'sf-temps', 'stocks', 'us-employment', "wheat"]
        ```
        
        We plan to add more local datasets in the future, subject to size and licensing constraints. See the [local datasets issue](https://github.com/altair-viz/vega_datasets/issues/1) if you would like to help with this.
        
        ## Dataset Information
        
        If you want more information about any dataset, you can use the ``description`` property:
        
        ```python
        >>> data.iris.description
        'This classic dataset contains lengths and widths of petals and sepals for 150 iris flowers, drawn from three species. It was introduced by R.A. Fisher in 1936 [1]_.'
        ```
        
        This information is also part of the ``data.iris`` doc string.
        Descriptions are not yet included for all the datasets in the package; we hope to add more information on this in the future.
