Usage

-----

.. code:: python

   import acs_download as acs

   acs.get_data(

       year = 2017,

       state = 'California',

       download_path = '../data/raw/',

       extract = True,

       extract_path = '../data/interim/',

   )

This will download ACS PUMS data file of California to your

``../data/raw/`` folder and extract it to ``../data/interim/`` folder.

``acs_download`` uses pypi package ``us``, which uses ``jellyfish``, to

handle ``state`` input so you can use variations
