How to update

Using Jupyter Notebook, run this code until "Save to file" for the month of the version of this file. For instance, if this file was last updated in December 2022, set analyze_last_month = False and last_month = date(2022, 12, 1) in "Month to analyze". This will save the data from that month in a text file.
Then, rerun the code from the beginning but this time with analyze_last_month = True to get the latest data from the previous month. So if you're in February 2023, you'll get data from January 2023. Run the code until "Save to file"
Then run the "Compare 2 months" part and compare the two files you've just created. In our example it would be month_a = '2022-12' (December 2022 data) and month_b = '2023-01' (January 2023 data). This will output the differences between these two files using the following format: [[[:w:ISO 3166-1 alpha-2|ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code]]] [[[:w:ISO 639-1|ISO 639-1 language code of the most popular language in that country during month_a]]] ]ISO 639-1 language code of the most popular language in that country during month_a] [True if the most popular language changed, False otherwise]
