The code in this repository converts data files in an R package devoted to the Survivor television series from .rda to .csv formats so that Python users can enjoy them.
The data comes from the survivoR package created by David Ohm, et al. They have organized and created numerous detailed and useful datasets about the history of the show, including an episode summary, castaway listing, challenge results and vote history, among many others.
scripts/convert_data.py: This script converts the survivoR data by fetching the latest.rdafiles from the source, storing copies locally indata/raw/rda, and then converting them to comma-delimited text files indata/processed/csv.
Notes: The converted .rda data files from the original project are stored in this repo's processed/csv directory. The content of those files won't change — only the file formats. Any value errors can be flagged as issues there. They are typically resolved quickly. Also: Please see the original repo for metadata about the individual files.
- survivor-voteoffs: How did each castaway react to his or her torch getting snuffed? There's data for that.
- survivor-transcripts: Fetching and storing complete transcripts for each episode of the American television show and analyzing the text for keyword/phrase frequency.
