is it possible to expose the package data?

[dfguerrerom]

one of the tools in @sepal-contrib was using a previous implementation of sepal_ui where the gaul_database was exposed, now that it has been removed in favor to the pygaul package, there's no way to directly access to this file.

Would it make sense to expose the database as a dataframe?, for example:

from pygaul.data import gaul_dadtabase

My current workaround imports the file using pkgs_resources:

resource_path = "pygaul/data/gaul_database.parquet"
content = pkg_resources.resource_filename("pygaul", resource_path)

I'm reluctant to expose the database path and think whatever I do will look exactly like your workaround. That being said, would it be possible to use AdmNames instead? it's very fast to run and gives you all the information you would find in the database right ?
