Running? about fpl

[amosbastian]

Hi @jeo96x it works for me. I did the following after pulling into a clean folder using Python 3.6:

python -m venv venv
. venv/bin/activate
python setup.py install
python
>>> from fpl import FPL
>>> fpl = FPL()
>>> players = fpl.get_players()
>>> for player in players:
...     print(player.name)
... 
Cech
Leno
Koscielny
...

Keep in mind that get_players() is currently very slow because it has to request all players from the Fantasy Premier League API - I'll probably work on improving the quality of this package in the future, but I'm currently pretty busy unfortunately. Could you show the code that is giving you the error?

I was trying to run it differently, thank you is there any chance you could help me with my application of your code?

Of course, if you have any questions just let me know @jeo96x!

Is it possible to write this data into a spreadsheet, and if so could it be done like a pivot table? example: I want to see Man Utd v Leicesters game and all the points from the players in that game, and keep it updated weekly

I'm not sure what a pivot table is, but yes you could easily save the data to a CSV file and use that. Personally I haven't used Excel, but I have used a Google spreadsheet with Python before (using gspread), which was easy enough (can set a cron job and update it automatically). If you have any more implementation details that would be great and I'd be more than willing to help you out with the project.
