About
Ensaio (Portuguese for "rehearsal") is a Python package for downloading open-access sample datasets for Geoscience. It taps into the Fatiando a Terra FAIR data collection that is designed for use in tutorials, documentation, and teaching.
It uses Pooch to manage downloading and caching the data on your computer. This means that datasets are only downloaded if they can't be found on your computer already.
Project goals
- Provide minimal code for downloading our sample data (basically just creates the relevant Pooch code).
- Only download and let the user load the data. This helps make tutorials and examples more easily extended to a user's own data.
- Be fully backwards compatible. We achieve this by separating data versions from Ensaio versions. Data fetching functions allow you to choose any data version that is older than the version of Ensaio that's installed. Major releases of Ensaio will be few and far between (if any).
