Load the Pokemon data


Let's load the Pokemon data from the open-source db. We'll need a small standalone Python project for that.


Create a folder called pokemon-python and a file named load_pokemon.py:



import pandas as pd
from sqlalchemy import create_engine
engine = create_engine('postgresql://postgres:password@xxxxx.xxxxx.us-east-2.rds.amazonaws.com:5432/postgres')
df=pd.read_csv('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/veekun/pokedex/master/pokedex/data/csv/pokemon.csv')
df.to_sql('pokemon', engine)



cd pokemon-python



# create a venv
pip install virtualenv
python3 -m …

data east import install pandas password pip pokemon postgres postgresql project python python3 rds small sqlalchemy venv
