This is a python project to access and analyse data for rugby matches. The data is pulled from espn rugby, for example Exeter v Munster and stored locally in the "database" to avoid having to pull from online every time.

Feel free to clone or fork the repo and contribute what you can to the project. Make sure to run test.py before committing any major changes and add tests for any new features

Current Leagues in database

Quick Sample Demo

from python_rugby.league import League
# Load the champions cup from the database
championsCup = League.fromLeagueName('Champions Cup')

# get matches in the range of dates
# in this example these dates encompass Round 2 matches
startDate = datetime(2018,10,18)
endDate = datetime(2018,10,22)
roundTwoMatches = championsCup.getMatchesInDateRange(startDate, endDate)

# Get the number of tackles for each player
tackles = []
for match in roundTwoMatches:
  print match
  for team in match.players.keys():
    for player in match.players[team]:
      tackles.append((player.name, player.getStat('tackles'), team))
