discharge monthly statistics

[yueyin1992]

Hi,
I am wondering if the monthly statistics data can also be downloaded through the function? Thanks!

Hi Krystal,
This is a great idea! I haven't implemented this yet, but it should be easy to do. I already have a system for reading tab-delimited files in my current Develop branch, and I've added a few USGS services that deliver information this way. The stats service would be relatively simple to query.

Hi Krystal, @yueyin1992

Thank you for the suggestion!

I just added (5292a1a) a new USGS stats service that can report on daily, monthly, or annual discharge statistics. It works like this:
hf.stats('01541200', 'monthly')
and it will return a dataframe with information from the USGS.

I am considering a different format however. I may want to return an object that stores the header AND the data.

Thanks so much! I tried to reinstall the hydrofunctions package but it returned "AttributeError: module 'hydrofunctions' has no attribute 'stats'". I am new to Python. Could you let me know what might be the problems? Thanks.

Hi yueyin1992!
I haven't merged my changes into the main branch yet. I generally wait until I do a release for that. Right now I am getting ready to do a release in the next week or two. In the meantime, you can do this:

pip install git+https://github.com/mroberge/hydrofunctions.git@develop --upgrade

This will install hydrofunctions from github instead of PyPI, and it will use my 'develop' branch instead of the current Master branch.

I've made some changes to how hydrofunctions works, so please let me know if you have any problems!
