This replaces the original way of doing it with a dictionary. The
change was brought about because the previous data loading function
was omitting duplicate entries (I.E. multiple readings from the same
second in time).
I, also, removed the load_data function. This is part of the gradual
move to transfer 'service' based functions out of flicker.py. The aim
here is to reduce the need for duplicating code or make it easier to
make function calls when needing a particular piece of data (or
transformation of data).
I've began getting into a mess with trying to use duplicated code and
data. I've began to move functions to their own services folder and
files to help reduce the duplication.
The code in this file is mostly to get the ball moving in this
repository. This file opens the
'light-meter-sample-readings-23-04-2021-ritherdon.csv' file and
tallies-up the number of requests per second groups. After that, it
writes the results to 23-04-2021-readings-per-sec.csv.
As an example (to help explain), it counts and stores how many times
the light meter (factory1) took a reading at the rate of two times per
second. In this instance, there were 2955 instances of the light meter
taking two readings per second. This roughly equates to 10% of the
days readings was at a rate of two requests per second. 28% of the
time the light meter was recording at four requests per second, 18%
for one and 44% for three.
