Open Source Python implementation of the API for working with CrunchCubes

## Introduction

This package contains the implementation of the CrunchCube API. It is used to
extract useful information from CrunchCube responses (we'll refer to them as
_cubes_ in the subsequent text). _Cubes_ are obtained from the _Crunch.io_
platform, as JSON responses to the specific _queries_ created by the user.
These queries specify which data the user wants to extract from the Crunch.io
system. The most common usage is to obtain the following:

- Cross correlation between different variable
- Margins of the cross tab _cube_
- Proportions of the cross tab _cube_ (e.g. proportions of each single element to the entire sample size)
- Percentages

When the data is obtained from the Crunch.io platform, it needs to be
interpreted to the form that's convenient for a user. The actual shape of the
_cube_ JSON contains many internal details, which are not of essence to the
end-user (but are still necessary for proper _cube_ functionality).

The job of this library is to provide a convenient API that handles those
intricacies, and enables the user to quickly and easily obtain (extract) the
relevant data from the _cube_. Such data is best represented in a table-like
format. For this reason, the most of the API functions return some form of the
`ndarray` type, from the `numpy` package. Each function is explained in greater
detail, uner its own section, under the API subsection of this document.

## Installation

The `cr-cube` package can be installed by using the `pip install`:

pip install cr-cube

### For developers

For development mode, `cr.cube` needs to be installed from the local checkout
of the `crunch-cube` repository. It is strongly advised to use `virtualenv`.
Assuming you've created and activated a virtual environment `venv`, navigate
to the top-level folder of the repo, on the local file system, and run:

pip install -e .

or

python setup.py develop

### Running tests

To setup and run tests, you will need to install `cr.cube` as well as testing
dependencies. To do this, from the root directory, simply run:

pip install -e .[testing]

And then tests can be run using `py.test` in the root directory:

pytest

## Usage

After the `cr.cube` package has been successfully installed, the usage is as
simple as:

>>> from cr.cube.cube import Cube

>>> ### Obtain the crunch cube JSON payload using app.crunch.io, pycrunch, rcrunch or scrunch
>>> ### And store it in the 'cube_JSON_response' variable

>>> cube = Cube(cube_JSON_response)
>>> print(cube)
Cube(name='MyCube', dimension_types='CAT x CAT')
>>> cube.counts
np.array([[1169, 547],
[1473, 1261]])
