Musings & ramblings of a Pythonista
Recently I started developing a Python library for accessing live information from ESPN Cricinfo like live scores, innings details and player profiles. Currently, it only fetches live match information using a simple Python iterator.
# instantiate matches = CricInfo() # iterate though matches for match in matches: # match title print match.title # a short desciption for the match print match.description # url to live scorecard print match.link print match.guid
I wish to add features for every match like full scorecard, innings details etc in a similar manner. A plan for getting player profile is also in my mind. I'd like to make this as human-readable as possible. For example, innings information can be fetched by an iteration over the Match object.
# getting innings info for innings in match: print innings.score print innings.current_batsmen print innings.overs print innings.wickets
I'll update about the changes being done for the api. So keep reading my blog. I need your suggestions to make it a useful one.
