Really enjoyed watching the video. This tool looks like a great idea for Tableau users 💯

Excellent. Btw, I think "foo" comes from "FUBAR", which was a widely used term in the military world. It's a term used to describe something in a bad state, coders would also use this to describe the state of code or systems which is why it's quite relevant, but I would say it was common 20yrs ago, less used now.

[fabyguz]

Is there an updated version for python3?

[JohnWRodat]

This tool looks very, very useful. Unfortunately, it's limited to Windows. Sigh
