Taylor Firman's Fantasy Sports Repository

This repository contains fantasy sports simulators based in Python that were originally used as a training tool for myself, but have since grown into more of a pet project. All applications are meant for entertainment purposes only.

Installation

Still working on uploading this package to PyPI, but in the meantime, you can create and activate an operational conda environment via the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/tefirman/FantasySports.git
cd FantasySports
conda env create -f environment.yml
conda activate fantasy

Usage

For details on each script's exact usage, execute the "help" option for each script:

python fantasyfb.py --help
