Download/Import of datasets from kaggle.com

Project Abstract

LabPlot is a data visualization and analysis software. For testing and study purposes, LabPlot provides easy access to multiple collections of publicly available datasets. In addition to the already available collections, the support for https://www.kaggle.com is desired which seems to be the central place nowadays for datasets used in the data science community. The purpose of this project is to extend LabPlot to download and import datasets from https://www.kaggle.com.
