Two issues, same fix surface.
(1) Reported crash on Back-to-Home:
StreamlitAPIException: Could not find page: app.py.
``st.switch_page("app.py")`` doesn't work under ``st.navigation`` —
the entry script is the nav manager itself and is not a registered
page. The fix needs to pass an ``st.Page`` object whose script
identity matches one registered in the nav.
First-pass attempt (``from src.gui.app import _home_page``) hit a
worse failure: importing ``app.py`` from inside a tool-page render
re-executes the nav setup with the WRONG "main script" context, so
every ``st.Page("pages/N_foo.py", ...)`` call in ``_build_navigation``
fails with "file could not be found".
Extract the home renderer into its own module ``src/gui/_home.py``
which has no top-level Streamlit side effects. Both the nav manager
and the back-link helper import ``_home_page`` from there. The Page
object built at click time has the same callable identity as the one
registered, so ``st.switch_page`` resolves it.
(2) Reported UX: the back button scrolled out of view on long pages.
Add a second ``back_to_home_link(key="_back_to_home_link_bottom")``
call near the footer of every tool page (1-9). The unique key avoids
widget-id collision with the top instance. Coming-Soon stubs get it
unconditionally; Ready tools render it only after a result exists
because the page short-circuits with ``st.stop()`` before then —
when no result is on screen the page is short enough that the top
link is sufficient.
2220 tests pass.

Download (non-technical users)
Pre-built installers — no Python required:
| Platform | Download | First-launch note |
|---|---|---|
| macOS | DataTools-X.Y.Z-mac.dmg |
Drag DataTools.app into /Applications, then double-click. |
| Windows | DataTools-X.Y.Z-win-setup.exe |
Run the installer; launches from Start Menu. |
| Linux | DataTools-X.Y.Z-linux-x86_64.AppImage |
chmod +x the file, then double-click. |
Latest release: see GitHub Releases (or the Gumroad listing). The installers are ~150–200 MB; the launcher boots a local server at http://127.0.0.1:8501 and opens your browser. Nothing is sent to the cloud.
Install from source (developers)
pip install -r requirements.txt
Python 3.10+ required.
Run
GUI (recommended):
streamlit run src/gui/app.py
CLI — seven entry points:
python -m src.cli customers.csv [--apply] # dedup
python -m src.cli_text_clean messy.csv [--apply] # text clean
python -m src.cli_format intl.csv [--apply] # format standardize (auto-streams >100 MB)
python -m src.cli_missing holes.csv [--apply] # missing values
python -m src.cli_column_map vendor.csv [--apply] # column mapper
python -m src.cli_pipeline any_file.csv [--apply] # chain tools end-to-end
python -m src.cli_analyze any_file.csv [--json] # scan only
Every CLI runs preview-only by default; add --apply to write output.
Language
The GUI sidebar has a language picker. Packs ship for English and Español (src/i18n/packs/); the choice persists for the session. Adding a language: drop a <code>.json next to en.json mirroring its key tree, then list it in LANGUAGES. See Developer Guide §i18n.
Review & Normalize gate
Every uploaded file passes through a CSV-normalization gate before any tool sees it. The analyzer flags ~15 issue types (whitespace, NBSP / zero-width chars, BOM, encoding, smart punct, dirty headers, null sentinels, mojibake, …) tagged by confidence (high / medium / low) and fix action. The GUI shows each finding with Auto-fix / Skip / Customize, a live before/after preview, and an encoding-override picker. Tool pages refuse to load until the gate passes.
Output
Every run writes:
{input}_<tool>.csv— the cleaned data{input}_changes.csv(text cleaner) or{input}_match_groups.csv(dedup) — audit traillogs/<tool>_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.log— debug-level run log
Original input file is never modified.
