nflgame doesn't have any data upon install...?

[eldanothemano]

Hi there! Just found this code and I'm really excited to get it up and running. I created a virtual environment using python 2.7 within pycharm. I used tutorials from this link:

https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm-edu/installing-uninstalling-and-upgrading-packages.html

to find nflgame and install its package into the environment. I then copied and pasted this code from the nflgame wiki site and ran it:

import nflgame

games = nflgame.games(2017, week=9)
players = nflgame.combine_game_stats(games)
for p in players.rushing().sort('rushing_yds').limit(5):
msg = '%s %d carries for %d yards and %d TDs'
print msg % (p, p.rushing_att, p.rushing_yds, p.rushing_tds)

I then got the following error thrown:

/home/dan/NFLGame_virt_env/bin/python /home/dan/IDEs/pycharm-2017.2.4/helpers/pydev/pydevd.py --multiproc --qt-support=auto --client 127.0.0.1 --port 35684 --file /home/dan/PycharmProjects/NFL_Stats_Importer/generate_deep_NFL_stats.py

return list(games_gen(year, week, home, away, kind, started))
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable

Process finished with exit code 1

So all the functions are there and it appears to be installed properly...am I supposed to perform an additional step that I missed? Thanks for any help that can be provided!

So digging through the directory tree, it appears the gamecenter-json file is still compressed as a gz file. I am attempting to find that director through the terminall so I can unzip everything there. Hopefully somebody will post and give me the answer :)

If I get it working, I'll make sure to post the solution

OK, well I unzipped all those files...didn't fix anything. Ugh

[eldanothemano]

OMG, I feel so stupid. I changed the year to 2016 and it output all the data. I'm guessing I have to run some more code to update the json file so that it includes game data from 2017.

You need to run python update_sched.py --year 2017 to update the json file. There are a few other issues you might run into though, so read through #331.
