athlib 0.9.5

Utilities for track and field athletics

athlib

Athlib is a library of functions, data and schema for Athletics (i.e. Track and Field)

We're building lots of sites for the sport of athletics. When we find something common and testable, we aim to place it here. This library should contain

• static reference data, provided it's not huge nor available elsewhere
• Python code implementing functions of general interest
• Javascript code implementing functions of general interest

It is NOT intended to contain

• web applications, view code or database code.
• competition management software

Things we hope to put in here:

• standard event codes and their English names
• UKA and other age group calculators
• WMA age grade calculations
• utilities for parsing and formatting performances as commonly input in athletics
• standardised scoring functions
• sample JSON files in line with our schemas
• schemas to validate

What follows below is intended to help people working on athlib.

Python documentation

We require a modern python>=3.8.0 some functions already have typing information and it will be applied later to others.

Installation

pip install athlib

Python development

For Python developers, please install the extra development requirements with

pip install -r dev_requirements.txt

Run tests with...

python setup.py test

Check style with

pycodestyle --exclude=bin,lib,include,sampledata

You can also copy the file pre-commit.sample to .git/hooks/pre-commit, and the two above checks will be run before any commit, and block it if they return issues.

Javascript documentation & development
