pudl.cli module¶
A command line interface (CLI) to the main PUDL ETL functionality.
This script generates datapacakges based on the datapackage settings enumerated in the settings_file which is given as an argument to this script. If the settings has empty datapackage parameters (meaning there are no years or tables included), no datapacakges will be generated. If the settings include a datapackage that has empty parameters, the other valid datatpackages will be generated, but not the empty one. If there are invalid parameters (meaning a year that is not included in the pudl.constant.working_years), the build will fail early on in the process.
The datapackages will be stored in “PUDL_OUT” in the “datapackge” subdirectory. Currently, this function only uses default directories for “PUDL_IN” and “PUDL_OUT” (meaning those stored in $HOME/.pudl.yml). To setup your default pudl directories see the pudl_setup script (pudl_setup –help for more details).
