   I’ve been using python enums to store static, non sensitive config lately. Let’s me store my data in dict/JSON like format while being able to write comments. Plus no need to do any IO to access variables! However, not really sure if t

   For anyone who's signing up now or asked to get an email notification when a report is complete, my ESP cut me off saying I'm having an unusual amount of requests. I'm contacting them to get it fixed, but be aware you might n

   This is part of the reason I'm not planning on ever providing this as a paid service. Regardless of the ToS, I don't really think it would be right to sell this data in the first place.

    I guess I missed this bit when I reviewed the terms. I suppose I'll have to reach out to them to see if I can get their permission- and thanks!

    First off, just wanted to say that I'm in the process of learning programming. I'm an English lit major and this is just a project that I've been using to learn. I recently used BigQuery (in conjunction with Google Apps Scrip
