# setup (windows)
|
|
|
|
after cloning set up a virtualenv
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
py -3 -m venv .venv
|
|
.venv\Scripts\activate
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
if you get an error while activating the virtualenv, you may need to run this first
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Force
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
install dependencies
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
pip install beautifulsoup4
|
|
pip install requests
|
|
```
|

# examples
|
|
|
|
in any looping example, use a suitable delay to avoid spamming the site with requests
|
|
|
|
`example_latest_timeline.py` : uses a simple infinite loop (async would be better in a full application) to skim the top of the timeline for live updates. it will not display the same update twice
|
|
|
|
`example_live_timeline.py` : another older way to show a live timeline update, less compatible with async routines due to the checking of the last item
|
|
|
|
`example_situation.py` : display the provided time gaps (if any) in a readable format
|
|
|
|
`example_timeline_all.py` : display the entire timeline of a race (at this moment) - in reverse so that the latest update is at the bottom for console convenience |
