Clarify role of getAvailableInventoriesandYears

[dt-woods]

The table in the README says RCRAInfo has 2013, 2017 and 2019 data available, but I don't see them with I run the following code snippet (using stewi 1.1.2). I only see 2015 data.

>>> import stewi 
>>> stewi.getAvailableInventoriesandYears()
{'TRI': ['2016', '2017'],
 'NEI': ['2016', '2017'],
 'eGRID': ['2016', '2018', '2020'],
 'RCRAInfo': ['2015']}

Are these just the data files that have been downloaded locally and not the ones available for download?

standardizedinventories/stewi/__init__.py

Line 18 in dbe1c5d

def getAvailableInventoriesandYears(stewiformat='flowbyfacility'):

Correct. This function predates storage of data objects on data commons so does not serve all that much purpose anymore.

Okay. Thanks for clarifying. I wasn't sure what "available" meant in the doc string, local or remote. Local is fine. It's a nice summary dictionary. Any possibility of adding a function parameter or new method to show what's available remotely (or what data are available for downloading)?
