Accessing/exporting data for use in Python (pandas)

[edanweis]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
No

Describe the solution you'd like
Documented example of how to access austraits data in Python for those unfamiliar with R. Short tutorial, or article demonstrating how to export dataframes from R into pandas.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Knowing nothing about R, installing austraits in RStudio Cloud but getting error building vignettes. Unclear whether .rda can be exported as dataframes, using Feather, or accesing data via some other API (Zenodo?), but with the R convenience functions.

Additional context
R may be more commonly used in the scientific community and admittedly there may not be much demand for trait data coming from data scientists (who mainly use Python) - but making it available and visible to other communities, eg: Kaggle, might inspire/encouage collaboration.

Hi @edanweis
Agree, it would be nice to have a Python tutorial/example, but there is no need to use the R data.
In the original data record at Zenodo, there is a zip file containing the csv files with the data.
I guess it should be relatively easy to replicate most of the examples in the R package from those files using panda.
