This is my first Python project (and actually coding projects aside of some GoogleAppsScript scripts) with the use case of creating a gif geo map (motion map) of Covid19 cases by country as aggregated by CSSEGIS. For a comprehensive list of other Covid19 related projects and data sources visit see pomber/ covid19.
Refer to requirements.txt for a list of libraries/ packages/ modules used.
I encountered many issues with dependencies. E.g. I had a hard time to get geopandas running. The only thing that worked was an installation via Anaconda 4.7.12.
What the script does:
- Get data of Covid19 cases by day and country, get world shape file from Natural Earth
- Clean data and merge both sources
- Plot geomap and create png per day
- Create gif of all pngs
Currently, the script only recognizes input from Windows filesystem.
