Python library to calculate standings for football and handball

Python library to calculate standings for football and handball

Getting Started

pip install standings

Alternatively: copy the standings package to your project.

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).

Tests

Some tests are supplied and can be run like this:

python -m unittest standings
python -m unittest standings.teampoint
