Breaking changes

• ACS().download_data() -> ACS().download()
• The person_or_household argument has been renamed to the more appropriate sample_unit
• pypums will now default to downloading data to a specified folder using click's get_app_dir(). More info here
• pypums now checks if a dataset has been previously downloaded and will default to not downloading it unless the overwrite argument is set to True
• the pypums CLI now has two commands:
  • acs-url which builds the URL to download data from the Census server (docs)
  • download-acs which takes --year, --state, --sample-unit and --survey options (and more) to download (and extract, by default) the data.
• We moved to httpx instead of requests
• We moved to rich instead of tqdm for progress bars
• We've added tests 😅

Can you also add option to support the use of 2020 ACS data that recently came out?

[chekos]

Absolutely! The 2020 data is only experimental because of the impacts of COVID (tracking it in #278)

So just need to work on some way to flag it as experimental as opposed to the rest of the surveys.

[akhiljr10]

Absolutely agree with that, but as ACS has the data available it would be beneficial for users working on it to directly pull it from there rather than downloading the file into the local system.
