The second 100,000 primes and their reciprocals (1/x) to 500 significant digits
As with the first 100K primes, this is a large CSV file (~50MB) tarred to ~25MB. Column 1 contains the primes, adjacent cells in column 2 contain the reciprocals.

Twitter sentiment analyzer using Tweepy, TextBlob, MariaDB, SQLAlchemy and dataset
I found a fairly decent online tutorial for creating a Twitter sentiment analyzer. Though helpful, I didn’t find that it was particularly intuitive, put together fairly well or workable in Python 3.
