racers-countering 0.0.5

A small package that counts TOP-15 racers from data files

Racers Counter

Racers Counter is a Python package that processes racing logs, including driver names, teams, start times, and stop times. It reads data from log files placed in a folder 'additional', calculates the lap time for each racer, and generates a report with the fastest lap times. It also handles errors in the input data and provides a detailed list of invalid records.

Features

• Reads abbreviations, start, and stop logs to process race records
• Calculates lap times for each driver
• Sorts drivers based on their lap times
• Generates a report with top racers and records with errors

Installation

You can install the package via pip:

pip install racers-countering

Usage

1. Prepare the following log files in a directory (by default additional folder):

• abbreviations.txt: Contains abbreviations of drivers and teams.
• start.log: Contains the start time of each driver.
• end.log: Contains the stop time of each driver.

2. Import the Record class and call its methods to build and print the report:

from racers_countering.program_code import Record

good_records, bad_records = Record.build_report(
    abbr_file_name="abbreviations.txt",
    startlog_file_name="start.log",
    stoplog_file_name="end.log",
    reverse=False
)

print(Record.print_report(good_records, bad_records, under_number=15))

Methods:

Record.read_abbreviations()

Read all abbreviations from 'additional\abbreviations.txt'

Record.build_report()

Builds the race report by reading the abbreviations, start times, and stop times. Returns two lists:

• good_records: List of records that were processed correctly.
• bad_records: List of records with errors.

Record.print_report()

Generates a formatted report based on the provided records.
