Where in taxdata repo is program that writes WEIGHTS.csv file? about taxdata HOT 2 CLOSED

@martinholmer it is CLP_solver_16Years.py

from taxdata.

@andersonfrailey, Thanks for the pointer to the code that generates the WEIGHTS.csv file.
Here are the last two statements of that Python program:

# Export all weights
z = df(z, columns=['WT2009','WT2010','WT2011','WT2012','WT2013','WT2014',
                   'WT2015','WT2016','WT2017','WT2018','WT2019','WT2020',
                   'WT2021','WT2022','WT2023','WT2024', 'WT2025', 'WT2026'])
z.to_csv('WEIGHTS.csv', index = False)

I think we need to insert the following statement between these two existing statements:

z = z.round(0).astype('int64')

I think that will round the weights to the nearest whole number and then convert them to an integer datatype, so that the z.to_csv() call will write a CSV file containing integers.

Can you check that this suggest works as I imagine it will? If it does, can you prepare a taxdata pull request that makes this change? And then can you prepare a tax-calculator pull request that replaces the old float weights with the new integer weights? Doing all this will improve things along the lines discussed in tax-calculator pull request 1153, which will not be needed after you make these changes.
