Data Storage
The functions for saving and accessing methods relies on local storage outside the package. To check where the files are stored, run the following code in the python console:
import appdirs
appdirs.user_data_dir()
Final produced methods from lciafmt are stored on Data Commons, an Amazon AWS s3 server. Data files are stored in parquet format, as this file type is smaller and faster to read than traditional file types, such as a csv.
Storing files on a remote server enables use of these files by other tools, such as useeior, without requiring a user to have python installed.
LCIAformatter is developed and maintained by Office of Research & Development (ORD), Center for Environmental Solutions & Emergency Response (CESER), Land Remediation & Technology Division (LRTD), Environmental Decision Analytics Branch (EDAB), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Cincinnati, OH 45268.
