Supreme Court of the United States Podcast Episode Generator

• podcast-cover.py: Python script to generate podcast covers from decision data.
• transistor-csv.py: (Description of this script's purpose, based on your implementation.)
• scotus.csv: CSV file containing data related to SCOTUS cases.
• Blank.png: Template image used by PodcastCover.py to generate podcast covers.
• .github/workflows/: Directory containing GitHub Actions workflows to run the scripts.

Setup

To run these scripts, you'll need Python installed on your machine, along with the pandas and Pillow packages. You can install them using pip:

pip install pandas Pillow

Usage

Download SCOTUS Data

To download the latest SCOTUS data:

python download-scotus.py

Make sure to update the scotus.csv file path in the script if it's different from your setup.

Generate Podcast Covers

To generate podcast covers:

python podcast-cover.py

Ensure Blank.png and the font file are in the correct paths as the script expects.

2. Select the respective workflow.
3. Click on 'Run workflow' and choose the branch you want to run the workflow on.
4. Click 'Run workflow' again to start the process.
