Missing MIA @ TB 2017 game (2017091006)

[vslobody]

when i do:

key = '2017091006'
schedule_games = nflgame.sched.games
game = schedule_games[key]

i get
{**u'week': 1**, u'meridiem': u'PM', u'gamekey': u'57241', u'season_type': u'REG', u'away': u'**TB**', u'year': 2017, u'month': 9, u'eid': u'**2017091006**', u'time': u'1:00', u'home': u'**MIA**', u'wday': u'Sun', u'day': 10}

now, if i do:
games_as_home = nflgame.games(game['year'], home = game['home'], kind='REG', started=True)
I would expect to see the game to show as the first entry, but instead i see:
games_as_home[0] - Game: NO (20) at MIA (0)
Any idea what is going on? Why i see NO as away team instead of TB?

What are you trying to do?

If you have the eid of a game you can simply call nflgame.game.Game({eid}) and it will grab the Game object for said game.

You are getting this because nflgame.games() actually returns a python generator of Game objects, as per the docs. The documentation is QUITE thurough and worthy of a good look.

Also it is ambiguous what you are actually passing in this query, what are the values of each of those variables you are passing to nflgame.games?

sorry i was unclear. let me try to explain what i am trying to do.
for each game from
schedule_games = nflgame.sched.games
i want to get statistical data for both home and away team
I have noticed that for
key = '2017091006'
i am getting the game
game = schedule_games[key]
that has home team
u'home': u'**MIA**'
and away team
u'away': u'**TB**'
now, i want to see all the games for the home team in that year:
games_as_home = nflgame.games(game['year'], home = game['home'], kind='REG', started=True)
i do not see this game (TB MIA) for the week 1.

That game was cancelled because of hurricane Irma and rescheduled as 2017111911 in week 11.

[derek-adair]

oh right. That makes more sense. I think its best for any game that is cancelled or will never have game-center json be removed from the schedule dictionary.

Closing b/c i've filed #76 which will resolve this.
