- calpaterson 3y agoYes, though as I try to explain in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39993176 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39993176 the bit I was trying to get at is that for `pd.read_csv('csvbase://calpaterson/opcodes-6502')` there is no API surface at all. And you can do writes with `pd.DataFrame.to_csv`. I personally think that is fun. PS: Thanks for all of your work over the years (decades?) on sqlalchemy. I'm sure you're not too surprised to learn that the lions share of code in csvbase is calls to SQLA core.
