mountains.py
A simple command line script that processes a remote URL, retreives a csv file at that URL, and outputs a timestamp and the name and altitude (if known) for each.
Is tolerant of unicode csv data (by coercing to UTF-8), and of large files (by streaming the results of the request).
Usage:
mountains.py [-h] URL positional arguments: URL A URL to a mountain data file. optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit
