Rationale

happyGISCO is a simple interface API to Eurostat GISCO web-services.

The background motivation for happyGISCO implementation and development is developed in the following paper:

Grazzini J., Museux J.-M. and Hahn M. (2018): Empowering and interacting with statistical produsers: A practical example with Eurostat data as a service, in Proc. of Conference of European Statistics Stakeholders.

Ultimately, happyGISCO should be distributed as a lightweight containerized computing notebook where a Python kernel is running and where the module happygisco is distributed.
