Use Python to Generate Wikitables for US Census Data

This is just a little side project I built to help myself quickly generate US census data for updating population tables on Wikipedia place articles. Hope this finds some others who find this interesting or have advice. I do not plan to turn this into a bot, but other than that would be curious what others think. NOTE: the US Census API service does not seem to work anymore outside the US, a VPN can resolve this issue.
