Datasets for use with libpysal

As of version 4.2, libpysal has refactored the examples package to:

This notebook highlights the new functionality

Backwards compatibility is maintained

If you were familiar with previous versions of libpysal, the newest version maintains backwards compatibility so any code that relied on the previous API should work.

For example:

from libpysal.examples import get_path 
get_path("mexicojoin.dbf")
'/home/jovyan/libpysal/examples/mexico/mexicojoin.dbf'

An important thing to note here is that the path to the file for this particular example is within the source distribution that was installed. Such an example data set is now referred to as a builtin dataset.

import libpysal
dbf = libpysal.io.open(get_path("mexicojoin.dbf"))

We see that the new column Installed is added to the tablular output of available. This tells the user whether the dataset has aready been installed on the local machine. All the builtin datasets are by defninition installed. The interesting cases are the remote data sets that are new in this release.
