to run on a mac:

1. install python3
2. install pip
3. pip install pandas
4. run the following on command line: "python3 csv-norm.py sample.csv" where sample.csv is the file you would like to perform transformations on.

some notes:

1. sample.csv needs to be in same folder as csv-norm.py
2. output file will be in output.csv

future work:

1. error handling
2. replace invalid characters with unicode replacement character
3. make sure time stamps are in iso-8601
4. clean up comments and organize code // refactor
