Prerequisites

Should work with Python 2.7 and up or 3. Possibly other versions (untested).

Usage

It’s best to see standingstest.py for reference.

Basic usage is as follows:

# Handball 3. Liga Herren, Saison 2015/16, 17. Spieltag
# Create ranking calculation oject with scope, sports type and mode
t1 = Standings(TABLE_ALL, SPORTSTYPES.HANDBALL, CALCULATION_MODE_DIRECT_COMPARE)

# add your matches / fixtures (upto desired match day or all)
t1.add_match(_Match('DHK Flensborg', 35551, 'SC Magdeburg II', 35561, 41, 23))
t1.add_match(_Match('SV Meck.-Schwerin', 35651, 'TS Großburgwedel', 35661, 26, 17))
...

tb = t1.get_table()
# tb is now the sorted table

_Match may be replaced with your own object but as a minimum requires a team name and id for both participiants and goals for the home and away team.

The module supports two modes for calculation: CALCULATION_MODE_GOAL_DIFFERENCE and CALCULATION_MODE_DIRECT_COMPARE. The first one uses points, followed by goal difference and then goals scored as sort order (as used in German Bundesliga for example).

CALCULATION_MODE_DIRECT_COMPARE will first sort by points, then the result of direct comparison between teams with equal points (often used in handball or the Spanish La Liga).
