Features
--------

- Standardize various null-indicating values (``'blank'``, ``'none'``, ``'null'``, etc) to Python's ``None``
- Trim, condense, and standardize whitespace with a single function
- Locate and rename column labels in messy files

Quick Start
-----------

Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. _PyPI: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/etl-toolbox/
.. _pip: https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/quickstart/

Install from PyPI_ using pip_::

      $ pip install etl_toolbox

Usage
~~~~~

>>> import pandas as pd
>>>
>>> df = pd.read_csv('./test_data/bad-data.csv')
>>> df  # doctest:+SKIP

Find and standardize column labels using a dictionary of the expected values:

>>> from etl_toolbox.dataframe_functions import find_column_labels
>>> from etl_toolbox.mapping_functions import map_labels
>>>
>>> fingerprint_map = {
...     'cust': 'Name',
...     'emladdr': 'Email',
...     'on': 'Date',
...     'phnnmbr': 'Phone'
... }
>>>
>>> find_column_labels(df, fingerprint_map)
>>> df
              Cust.             EML-addr         On      phn-nmbr   col5
0     Golden jackal    c.aureus@mail.com       03/04/14  333-4444  blank
1  Pie, rufous tree                 none            NaN  222-3333  empty

5   Grant's gazelle   grant@randmail.com              -       NaN    NaN
>>>
>>> df.columns = map_labels(df.columns, fingerprint_map)
>>> df
               Name                Email           Date     Phone      -
0     Golden jackal    c.aureus@mail.com       03/04/14  333-4444  blank
1  Pie, rufous tree                 none            NaN  222-3333  empty
2   Vulture, bengal              blocked       06/01/15  777-7777   none

Standardize null values and remove empty rows/columns:

>>> from etl_toolbox.dataframe_functions import dataframe_clean_null
>>>
>>> dataframe_clean_null(df)
>>> df
               Name                Email      Date     Phone
0     Golden jackal    c.aureus@mail.com  03/04/14  333-4444
1  Pie, rufous tree                  NaN       NaN  222-3333
2   Vulture, bengal                  NaN  06/01/15  777-7777
3       Arctic tern  s_paradise@mail.com  01/28/16       NaN
4   Eurasian badger  meles@othermail.net       NaN       NaN
5   Grant's gazelle   grant@randmail.com       NaN       NaN

Or clean individual data values:

>>> from etl_toolbox.cleaning_functions import clean_whitespace
>>>
>>> clean_whitespace(''' 123   abc 456
...                               def\t\t 789\t''')
'123 abc 456 def 789'

Bug Reports
~~~~~~~~~~~

Bug reports help make this library more robust. A good bug report should include:

#. A clear description of the problem (the *expected* behavior vs the *actual* behavior)
#. A minimal, reproducible example (see `the Stack Overflow guide`_)
#. The platform and versions involved (operating system, Python version, ``etl-toolbox`` version, ``pandas``/``numpy`` version if applicable, etc)

Submit bug reports with the `issue tracker`_ on GitHub.

`Open an issue`_ to discuss features you'd like to see added to etl-toolbox.

Pull Requests
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Follow these steps for submitting pull requests:

#. Find an issue or feature on the `issue tracker`_.
#. Fork `this repository`_ on GitHub and make changes in a branch.
#. Add tests to confirm that the bugfix/feature works as expected.
#. Run the entire test suite and coverage report with ``pytest --doctest-modules --doctest-glob=*.rst --cov=etl_toolbox --ignore=docs/conf.py``. Make sure text coverage is 100% and all tests are passing.
#. Submit a pull request.

The code style for etl-toolbox mostly follows PEP8_. A linter like Flake8_ is recommended for double checking new contributions.
