pycancensus 0.2 out on pypi now - imho the best way to work with canadian census data in python for humans and agents alike - the apis are still cancensus (R) flavoured but the python code is better and more performant now, bugfixes - better caching + functions for working w hierarchical vectors

CANSIM has 60k+ tables. StatCan covers a handful at a time in The Daily. What if the cost of coverage was (nearly) zero? The D-AI-LY (dshkol.com/thedaily/) checks for recently updated and neglected series and writes up releases for them with viz, links to source material, and reproducible code.

the cancensus R package has had 81k dls since 2018. It's the best way to interact with StatsCan data for R users. pycancensus is a full python port, with equivalent data access and manipulation grammar, output, and geospatial retrieval. check it out here: github.com/dshkol/pycan...
