Running Tests

[dataspider]

It seems that to run any of the tests, I need an API key for the census data – although there is quite a bit of functionality that could be tested simply with the test data you deliver with the package.
Please separate the tests into those that handle data-retrieval functionality (which will require an API key) and tests that handle computational functionality, given locally available data.

I agree with this, a small testing file would be useful.

Thank you for the suggestion, I also agree that would add a lot of functionality to the tests. I split the original tests into two separate files, one to test functionality for data that comes with the package, and another that tests the data acquisition functions. I also set them up to remove intermediary files after tests are conducted to reduce unnecessary file sizes.”
