Thermo DB as SQLite

[Midnighter]

While a compressed pickle is not a bad way to distribute data. It's not very future proof. You might consider creating database models with SQLAlchemy and storing everything in a SQLite database. I'm happy to help if you have any questions about that.

Hi,
Yes, we are aware of this, along with #3. Further support for better integration is planned.
In the meantime, we wanted to provide pytfa in a usable form, and although admittedly the current interface for thermodynamics data is clunky, the package should work for basic use cases.
