Python/Nim library for live horse racing odds

Requirements

To build you will need Nim compiler, I would recommend using Choosenim to install and manage.

Python 3.7 or greater and the Nimporter and orjson packages are required. These can be installed with Pip.

pip install nimporter orjson

Install

git clone https://github.com/joenano/liveodds.git

Build files are included for compiling the library, or copy and paste from here.

Linux

nim c --gc: orc --threads:on --app:lib -d:ssl -d:release --out:lib/odds.so src/odds.nim

Windows

nim c --gc: orc --threads:on --app:lib --tlsEmulation:off -d:ssl -d:release --out:lib/odds.pyd src/odds.nim

Example

from lib.liveodds import Liveodds

liveodds = Liveodds()

# get tuple of all available races
races = liveodds.all_races()

# get dictionary of odds for all races
odds = liveodds.odds(races)

Structure

Will add more examples later, in the meantime, more info in docs.

native python app

Thank you for your work, it's interesting.

I'm attempting to recreate it using 100% python. However, it looks like there's a missing file within the lib folder; odds - checking the history it doesn't look like it was ever committed, is that correct?

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Cannot open file nimpy

Hi Joe,

Many thanks for the repo - hope I can get it working.

I've downloaded all requirements and nim is installed.
