Great video, could you do something similar with a file that is not only text? let’s say a .iso or a .mp4?

Harrison look in to using pandas library. Think of it as a excel with more freedom in python. It is also BSD license so you can use it for your charting.

Very interesting stuff… …and even the vulgarity is refreshing, lol.

Thanks for the vid. Do you ever use SQL or do you find python to be enough by itself?

Thanks that, this video is really useful to understand stuff. But I am really stuck on something. I actually have a very large CSV file rather than SQL Database and I would like to perform SQL GROUP BY operations on it. Could you suggest me something, please?
