Football Statistics

Jupyter notebooks for and modules for the statistical analysis of football (soccer) data.

To start, see the background Jupyter notebook.

Documentation for the footy module is available at docs/index.md

Requirements

We strongly recommend looking at pyenv and pyenv-virtualenv so that you can install virtual Python environments without permanently filling up your laptop with crap.

On MacOS, these can be installed using:

brew install pyenv pyenv-virtualenv xz

The xz package is required to avoid the following message when using the pandas package:

UserWarning: Could not import the lzma module. Your installed Python is
incomplete. Attempting to use lzma compression will result in a RuntimeError. 

Then follow the links above to ensure that your virtual environment is setup correctly. At the moment, development is been carried out with Python 3.8.2.

Once that has been setup, install the Python packages required with:

pip install -r requirements.txt
