blackrock_fetcher

data fetcher and processor for Blackrock forest

Python compatibility

This fetcher script was originally written to be compatible with Python 2.6, since that's what was available on cunix at the time. This script is now deployed using pyenv on cunix, so we no longer have the Python 2.6 limitation.

Here's how to create a virtualenv for the blackrock fetcher and set everything up for the cron job:

pyenv local 3.6.9
python -m venv ve
./ve/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt
