      Per @strawberry-3-141’s suggestion I’m relocating this discussion from the NFL Module thread. I’ve managed to parse data from

      http://www.espn.com/nba/bottomline/scores

      using a python program that stores team names, scores, winners and game times. I can produce this result on the command line:

      0_1484590474543_parser.jpg

      My current goal is to learn how to execute @strawberry-3-141’s suggestion:

      “Help: you can run the python script in from inside the node_helper and read the output, then send the data to your module with a socket notification”

      I have a lot to learn. I’ve figured out a lot about socket notifications and sending notifications and data between modules. I think I can probably handle that part. But I have zero confidence in the process of calling the script and reading output from within the node_helper. I suspect running the script from node_helper will look similar to this suggestion:

      https://github.com/paviro/MMM-Facial-Recognition/blob/master/node_helper.js#L11

      But the variables are a mystery to me and I don’t know how to read the result. If anybody can link to a tutorial that will help me understand this process I will be very grateful! I would much rather learn to do this for myself than have somebody do the work and write the code for me. Thank you!

        in the python script you will need this function to return a json object to your node helper https://github.com/paviro/MMM-Facial-Recognition/blob/master/facerecognition/facerecognition.py#L25

        in the node_helper you would need this function https://github.com/paviro/MMM-Facial-Recognition/blob/master/node_helper.js#L9

        what variables are unclear to you, name them and we can try to explain them

        Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

          These are very helpful. I assume I will also need to

          import sys
          import json
          

          at the top of my file?

          Right now I’m storing data in a few arrays in my .py file. For example, I have an array where

          homeTeam[gameNum]
          

          will display the string of the home team name.

          Will this pass the full array?

          to_node("home teams", homeTeam)

            yes you will need both imports, as they are used in this function

            this should pass the full array

                @in_a_days Thank you so much for working on this! I’ve been hoping for an NBA module for a while now

                  Still a long way to go, but I’ll keep working at this till I make something work! :)

                  The parser is available here if anybody wants to play around with displaying the data.

                  https://github.com/in-a-days/MMM-NBA/blob/master/MMM-NBA.py

                  It’s the first original code I’ve written in a very long time so forgive me if it’s not pretty. ;)

                      Still a work in progress! I’ve managed to pull score data from the espn site, but exchanging the data between the python script and node helper is really challenging me. I was trying to just reverse engineer one of the other scoring modules, but both my parsing method and lack of javascript experience have made this really really difficult. I’ve been studying several tutorials and working on building simple modules from scratch just to make sure I understand all the socketNotification exchanges.

                      Now that I’m getting a feel for it, I’ll probably re-write the parser in javascript. It’s a slow process, but I plan to stay at it until it’s done or someone else makes it first. :)

                        @in_a_days at least there is a module for the standings https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/1479/mmm-nbaranking-nba-standings
