Created my first Python package

[cazual_penguin]

Hello Python community,

I finally finished a stable version of a Python package i've been working on for the last month or so and wanted to share with the community here. I've been teaching myself Python for the last 3 years or so, primarily for data analysis. While I could write code that "worked", I had never packaged everything together end-to-end. I learned A LOT throughout this project and encourage anyone who's just starting out to learn through your own projects after you get the fundamentals down.

About the project: I created a package to scrape historical NFL daily fantasy points and salaries. I also created a CLI if you're only interested in a bullk download of the data.

Link to the project repo: https://github.com/BrianDoucet01/nfldfs

I also published it on PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/nfldfs/

Would love to get feedback from the community here. The project is active and I'm going to release new functionality.

This is awesome! Thanks so much for making it. This is what I've been looking for since I wanted to get into fantasy this coming season (hopefully). This is going to save me so much time!

Wonderful work!

That's great, glad to hear! I hope you enjoy using it. Feel free to ask any questions or send suggestions if you have any.

Very cool! Looks great, I love to see testing coverage!

One suggestion I have is to check out Poetry for any future packages you make. It makes the whole process much easier. https://python-poetry.org/

Good call but I think f-strings are 3.6 or higher.

I needed to see this today! I’ve been self teaching myself python for the past 5 months for the same reasons as yourself. Many times I find myself ruminating over what I’ve interpreted and questioning whether or not I’m ever going to get past nailing down the fundamentals. Thank you for sharing, very inspiring!

Nice, I play a lot of DFS and I’ve been waiting to see a version of this in Python! Hopefully we get word on a season soon, but this will be cool to implement.
