This project is a direct usecase of csv_detective (see here). The goal is to automatically detect content of the 20K or so tables in data.gouv. This helps with cross-analyses.

This requires installing csv_detective:

git clone https://github.com/SGMAP-AGD/csv_detective
cd csv_detective
python setup.py install

Then clone this package and run the script

git clone https://github.com/Leobouloc/data.gouv-exploration
cd data.gouv-exploration
python data_gouv_analysis.py

This will download CSV files from data.gouv (btw, you can change erase_csv_cache to True to save space) and analyse them with csv_detective. Results will be stored in cache_json.
