Pooch manages a data registry by downloading your data files
from a server only when needed and storing them locally in a data
cache (a folder on your computer).
.
Pooch's main features:
* Pure Python and minimal dependencies.
* Download a file only if necessary (it's not in the data cache or
needs to be updated).
* Verify download integrity through SHA256 hashes (also used to check
if a file needs to be updated).
* Designed to be extended: plug in custom download (FTP, scp, etc)
and post-processing (unzip, decompress, rename) functions.
* Includes utilities to unzip/decompress the data upon download to
save loading time.
* Can handle basic HTTP authentication (for servers that require a
login) and printing download progress bars.
* Easily set up an environment variable to overwrite the data cache
location.
* Automatically download your data files so you don't have to keep
them in your GitHub repository.
* Make sure everyone running the code has the same version of the
data files (enforced through the SHA256 hashes).
