Last update on the Chessboard before it's (hopefully) complete
If you do get around to the pi version- I highly recommend this library python-chess. It can handle valid moves in addition to querying an engine like stockfish.

Chessboard is coming along nicely
There is a very good Python chess library for computing these sorts of things: https://python-chess.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ If you backed the board with this, you could do it pretty easily.

Chess ECO problem part of a chess data mining project in python
I've never done it, but it should be quite easy with python-chess to read in a detailed opening book, go through each game, and then find the last position in each game that occurs in the opening book.

Easiest way to mass analyze a large database of games
Game Analysis. Scroll through github for chess annotation software packages (example1, example2), or sketch one out yourself using the python-chess library. I'm pretty certain scidvspc also has the ability to annotate and analyze a repository of games (I vaguely remember doing so for an epd).
