\GitHub\basketball_reference>python match_generator.py --league nba --seasons 2003-to-2017 Traceback (most recent call last): File "match_generator.py", line 7, in from nba import NbaBRefSeason File "C:\Users\Bill\Documents\GitHub\basketball_reference\nba.py", line 6, in from base import BRefMatch, BRefSeason File "C:\Users\Bill\Documents\GitHub\basketball_reference\base.py", line 21, in signal.signal(signal.SIGALRM, timeout_handler) AttributeError: module 'signal' has no attribute 'SIGALRM'

I looked and it seems like I'm not the first person to run into this issue, but perhaps the first to run into it on this specific project. I found a fix for the same error on a similar project ( https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/ml-agents/pull/9/commits/4958f041a18fb6c55e2827245ff5fc4eaeabfb8c ) but I'm struggling to implement the work-around here.

Well, I ended up running it on an Ubuntu VM on my Win10 machine. I've been running windows via BootCamp on various macs for so long now I guess this must have been obvious for some, but when I first considered it I didnt't think the python-levenshtein package wasn't compatible w linux ... anyways hope this may help someone down the road. Thank you to the original author for creating this great tool and sharing.

Thanks again, wildBill
