General notebook information

We’ll be doing calculations on 2021 Yellow Taxi Trips data using only the Python standard library (not pandas).

Step 0#

The data needs to available on the machine where Python is running in order to process it, so let’s download from the NYC Open Data site directly:

  1. Open https://data.cityofnewyork.us/resource/m6nq-qud6.csv in your browser, which should download the first thousand rows.

    • We’ll talk about getting more data when we get to APIs.

  2. Move the CSV to the same directory as this notebook.

  3. Rename the CSV something meaningful.

  4. Confirm you can see the file in the JupyterLab File Browser. You may need to tell it to refresh (🔄 button).
