for game in games:
        stats = mlbgame.team_stats(game.game_id)
        overview = mlbgame.overview(game.game_id)
        player_stats = mlbgame.player_stats(game.game_id)
        winning_team_SP_era = overview.home_probable_pitcher_s_era
   

I added a few lines of code for this to work on Windows systems. There is probably a better way to do this like using gzip to read the xml and using elementree to parse the string, but this was more straightforward.

The xml bug described in #121 appears to be fixed for the game overview but is still present for player stats. I've built from master and get the following result when trying to pull player stats from a completed game:

>>> games = mlb.combine_games( mlb.games(2019, 3, 29))
>>> print(games[0])
Tigers (0) at Blue Jays (6)
>>> mlb.player_stats(games[0].game_id)

I'm getting an error when trying to view the scoreboard for spring training games. Here is the error:

Is this due to MLB not posting scoreboard details for spring training games or is this an issue with the library?

Have a script that grabs info daily and today got an exception:

import mlbgame
games = mlbgame.games(2018,5,29)
print games
games = [g for item in games for g in item]
for game in games:
    print game.game_id
    print mlbgame.overview(game.game_id).time

gameid 2018_05_29_chamlb_clemlb_1 ValueError: Could not find a game with that id.

API: http://gd2.mlb.com/components/game/mlb/year_2018/month_05/day_29/gid_2018_05_29_chamlb_clemlb_1/rawboxscore.xml

Whats causing this? Just started happening.

code:

import mlbgame stats = mlbgame.player_stats('2014_06_07_miamlb_chnmlb_1')

for player in stats.home_batting: print(player.h)

Occasionally MLB teams play non-MLB teams in exhibition. Two of these games took place on April 4, 2016. combine_games handles this okay, simply ignoring the non-MLB match-ups. See the April 4 scoreboard:

Nationals (4) at Braves (3) Giants (12) at Brewers (3) Mariners (2) at Rangers (3) White Sox (4) at Athletics (3) Rockies (10) at D-backs (5) Cubs (9) at Angels (0) Blue Jays (5) at Rays (3) Red Sox (0) at Indians (0) Phillies (2) at Reds (6) Twins (2) at Orioles (3) Dodgers (15) at Padres (0) Astros (0) at Yankees (0)

However, player_stats does not handle these well. Below is the error message I receive when I try to run mlbgame.player_stats(game.game_id) on one of those games, for instance the Miami Marlins vs. the Diablos Rojos:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/lib/python3.5/site-packages/mlbgame/data.py", line 47, in get_box_score data = urlopen("http://gd2.mlb.com/components/game/mlb/year_%s/month_%s/day_%s/gid_%s/boxscore.xml" % (year, month, day, game_id)) File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/lib/python3.5/urllib/request.py", line 162, in urlopen return opener.open(url, data, timeout) File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/lib/python3.5/urllib/request.py", line 471, in open response = meth(req, response) File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/lib/python3.5/urllib/request.py", line 581, in http_response 'http', request, response, code, msg, hdrs) File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/lib/python3.5/urllib/request.py", line 509, in error return self._call_chain(_args) File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/lib/python3.5/urllib/request.py", line 443, in _call_chain result = func(_args) File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/lib/python3.5/urllib/request.py", line 589, in http_error_default raise HTTPError(req.full_url, code, msg, hdrs, fp) urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

I'm grabbing the probable pitchers for 3/28/2019 and I noticed on the Reds/Pirates game it has Jamison Taillon as the home pitcher & Luis Castillo as the away pitcher when the game is being played in Cincinnati.

…TCHf/x data - 04/05/18 9:53 PM

Example Source URL: http://gd2.mlb.com/components/game/mlb/year_2017/month_04/day_03/gid_2017_04_03_seamlb_houmlb_1/inning/inning_all.xml

So I have a simple loop looking for stats like so:

def test_stats(games):
    for game in games:
        stats = mlbgame.team_stats(game.game_id)
        hr_home = stats.home_batting.hr
        hr_away = stats.away_batting.hr
        box_score = mlbgame.box_score(game.game_id)
        error_home = box_score.print_scoreboard()
        pitch_home = stats.home_pitching.so
        pi_home = stats.home_pitching.s_h
        print hr_away,hr_home,pitch_home,pi_home

when I run this, it is giving me: AttributeError: 'TeamStats' object has no attribute 's_h'

Is this another break?

Hi. I just came across this fantastic piece of work today. Thanks so much. I'm fairly new to Python, but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. This piece of code:

stats = mlbgame.player_stats(game.game_id)
   for player in stats.home_batting:
    ... stuff here on player

works fine But this code

stats = mlbgame.player_stats(game.game_id)
    for player in stats.away_batting:
     ... stuff here on player

Never executes because away_batting is always empty. I presume I'm doing something wrong, but if I'm not....

Hopefully this isn't a stupid question, but: Are there additional setup steps needed to gain access to the MLB database beyond the module install? Accounts, authentication, etc. When the module wouldn't return any data, I tracked this back to an HTTP Forbidden error when accessing MLB's GD2 link. Same thing when I tested that link in browser - Access Denied. Am I missing something to set up this API? If there are additional steps to authenticate for database access, can this be clarified in the documentation? Thanks!

Just getting started with this API, and this morning am seeing the same game id error still occuring. This happens with running the base example presented in the documentation. Anyone have a fix?

`#!python from future import print_function import mlbgame

game = mlbgame.day(2015, 11, 1, home='Mets')[0] stats = mlbgame.player_stats(game.game_id) for player in stats.home_batting: print(player)`

Version: 2.5.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. Choose a game in which the bottom of the 9th inning was not played. For example, game_id 2021_04_03_tormlb_nyamlb_1, the Yankees v Blue Jays game from April 3rd, 2021.
2. Run mlbgame.events.game_events(id) with the selected game_id value.

Result:

line 48, in game_events
  'bottom': __inning_info(x, 'bottom')
line 17, in __inning_info
  half = inning.findall(part)[0]
IndexError: list index out of range

Edit: this appears to be a duplicate of #137, still open from 2 years ago.
