Feature Request: Provide CSV files

[hski-github]

Feature Idea

Python becomes more and more popular in the space of Data Science in Pharma and clinical data transformation and analytics.

It would be great to be able to use pharmaversesdtm test data in Python development.

If pharmaversesdtm would provide the data sets in addition to *.rda files in /data also as *.csv files e.g. in the same folder /data/*.csv, then these csv files could be easily used in Python directly from Github.

import pandas as pd

url = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pharmaverse/pharmaversesdtm/refs/heads/main/data/ae.csv"
df = pd.read_csv(url)

Guess and hope the csv creation from RDA files at the end of pharmaversesdtm process is a small extention of the pharmaversesdtm test data creation process.

Relevant Input

No response

Relevant Output

All *.rda files currently in /data should be available also as *.csv files

I personally think this would be a great idea!

It can just be generated automatically through the standard script in a new folder (e.g, data-csv) and then ignored for the CRAN build. If any of the core team accepts/wants, I can assign this one and do it pretty fast! 😉

I will open a PR proposal so the core team can choose if it is useful (otherwise feel free to close it!)
