This package contains functions to calculate Economic Complexity indicators.
The functions handle the data through `pandas.DataFrame` objects.

## Installation
We recommend the use of `poetry`, to resolve the best version of the dependencies that works with your current project.
```bash
$ poetry add economic-complexity
```
## Tutorial
We have [a brief Tutorial](https://github.com/Datawheel/py-economic-complexity/blob/main/docs/TUTORIAL.ipynb), using data from the Observatory of Economic Complexity, to get started on how to use the basic functions of this package.
More complex functions use the resulting dataframes of the basic functions as arguments.
