A script which gets specific properties for you

[OneByteGH]

This script will ask you what properties you want and then it will generate a new JSON with just those properties (for every element)

[Bowserinator]

The script assumes the windows path separator, you can use os to get the specific path separator for the user's os.

Fixed that + made it so it also exports to CSV.

Thank you, didn't expect a reply haha, this is my first open source contribution

Ok I tested it, the UI is nice, but there are some errors:

1

        for key in data_needed:
            if data_needed[key]:
                e += element[key] + ','

This assumes element[key] is a string, if it's a number (or any non-string) the thing crashes. (You should cast it to str() first)

2

The CSV has trailing commas, as in there's an extra comma at the end:

Hydrogen,
Helium,

etc..., you can either strip the last comma or save all the properties as a list then use ",".join(properties)

Also the first row of the CSV should be the headers of the properties like in the CSV in the main repo

Consider using https://docs.python.org/3/library/argparse.html, so you can do stuff like

python specific_data.py --properties a,b,c, -o my_output.csv

That way the user can specify what they want as an argument directly instead pressing y/n many times. You can keep the current program under an interactive flag or something.

Also an option to specify file output location would be nice

Fixed and added all the stuff mentioned in the comment
