savePlayerDictionary error

I've been trying to create the player dictionary, but having problems with bc.savePlayerDictionary.
players = bc.buildPlayerDictionary() works fine, but then running the following command:

bc.savePlayerDictionary(players, "/path/to/playerJson.bk.json")

I get the following error:

AttributeError: 'NavigableString' object has no attribute 'to_json'

Any ideas as to why it's failing? Great work with this by the way, really like this module!

loadPlayerDictionary issue

Hi I try to run the code ...
I managed to build dicionary but I cannot load it

I get this error
TypeError: dict must be set to a dictionary, not a 'unicode'

Is it something that I am doing wrong?

Error running example_notebook

When running pau_games = bc.gameLogs(players, u'Pau Gasol')

Get an error

IndexError: list index out of range

Extension to Other Sports

Would it be acceptable to attempt to extend this utility to other sports?

Errors in Python 3

I ran into some errors running buildPlayerDictionary in Python 3, and had to make some changes.

For example:

I changed print url to print(url)

and

I changed name_data = n.children.next() to name_data = next(n.children)

There were a few other changes I had to make as well. I am fairly new to Python, but my understanding is that the newer Python 3 syntax is also supported by Python 2, so would it make sense to update the syntax to what works for both?

buildPlayerDictionary is failing (out-of-date?)

Trying to build the player dictionary may not be creating the dictionary correctly. The function is only capturing 155 players. My hunch is that basketball-reference changed their web page structure, which breaks buildPlayerDictionary() scraping.

After running the code:

import warnings
warnings.filterwarnings('ignore')
import basketballCrawler as bc
import pandas
playerJson = bc.buildPlayerDictionary()
bc.savePlayerDictionary(playerJson, "/path/to/playerJson.bk.json")

The resulting JSON is:
