For calculating how often reddit pages are linked between each other
Write your own script using the package, or run a script in bin/ by installing

$pip install .
$pip3 install .

Because this is a project written to run on a raspberry pi for a long period of time, it is not suitable to hold data in memory (and its good sql practice for me).
