The Python Alliance (Lightweight TBA Client in Python)

[lynca]

Looks like great starter code for a TBA API introduction!

Thanks for sharing.

Nice work!

Update!

New features include:

• Individual Event Information
• More modularized code!
• Unfinished feature to automatically highlight a team in your district rank view.

To be worked on:
An entire python library for TBA calls... (v2 only likely)
OPR & rank manipulation (depending on what I get around to doing...)
Data output (hopefully)

Again, the whole project is opensource, so feel free to contribute!

(Side note, this only properly works in Python 2.7 because of input() vs raw_input(). If anyone has a solution that works in both, I'd happily accept...)

Good job, Tim.

A quick-and-dirty solution that comes to mind is writing your own input function with a try-except block:

def my_input(prompt):
     try:
          return raw_input(prompt) 
     except:
          return input(prompt)

An alternative, more sophisticated approach would be to check the Python version in your function. This Stack Overflow thread talks about how to use the Python version number in a program.

A similar method can be used for print() vs the print keyword, which should make it compatible with both Python 2.7 and 3.X.
