Overview
This library allows you to take data from an existing fantasy football league and get instant stats from that league
into either a Python script or an Excel spreadsheet.\
\
This library supports multiple fantasy sites AND manual league data input.\
\
Python stats will be stored in these objects:
Excel sheets will include:
- A tab for each year with team stats
- A tab for each year with matchup info
- A tab for all-time with team stats
- A tab for all-time with matchup info
- A tab for all-time with owner stats
\ The main idea behind this library is:
- Load stats into a League object
- Pass this League object into various library methods to extract stats
\
For guides on how to use this library, see the information
under Supported League Loaders and
in the example folder.
Quickstart Guide
1. Download Python
- Download the latest supported version of Python here.
- Currently, Python version 3.10+ is supported
2. Create a basic Python file to use this library
- Create a file that ends in the extension ".py"
- Example: _myscript.py
3. Download this library
- Navigate in your terminal to the directory where you created your Python script in Step 2
- Run the command
pip install leeger- If you do not have pip installed, you will need to install it
4. Download your league data using a league loader
- Find the site/s you use for fantasy football here
- Follow the Setup Documentation
- Once you have everything you need for your selected site/s, use the code examples
found here for your specific site/s to
download your league data
- You can put the code inside the Python script you created in Step 2
- If you have leagues that are continued in multiple sites, you can pull from multiple sites and add the League objects
together to combine the different sites
- An example of this can be found here
5. Run your script
- Navigate in your terminal to the directory where you created your Python script in Step 2
- Run the command
py my_script.py- Replace _myscript.py with whatever you named your script in Step 2
6. Load your league stats into Excel
- Slightly alter your script from Step 2 to include a function call to load your league stats into Excel
- Follow this example
- Make sure that you are passing the League object that you pulled from the league loader/s into the function call to put your stats into Excel
FAQ
Question: I'm getting this error when I run my script:
TypeError: dataclass() got an unexpected keyword argument 'kw_only'Answer: This error occurs when the Python version you are using is not 3.10 or greater.\ Make sure you are using Python version 3.10 or a newer version.
Q: How do I use this library to pull stats from my online fantasy league?
A:
- Find your fantasy site here and ensure you have everything you need for the site you are using
- Follow the example code snippets for your fantasy site to load the League object
Q: How can I get stats into Excel once I have my League object?
A: Follow this example code.
Q: Can I combine years from different fantasy sites that are loaded as separate League objects into a single League object?
A: Yes, the League object supports addition (+) to combine multiple league objects.\ An example of this can be found here.
Q: Can I disable validation on my League object?
A:
Yes. While it is not recommended that you disable this, as validation ensures the stats are calculated properly,
disabling validation can be done by passing validate=False into any method that takes a League object OR any loadLeague() method from a League Loader.
Installation
