Description

This python3 script will retrieve today's MLB or NHL games and display them ordered by start time, in your local time.
This is written using my other nhl api repo

You can edit the file to set your favorite teams and rivals in order to see them highlighted in color in the output.

This script is very useful in combination with GeekTool or Conky!

Running the script

Invoke the script using:

python3 sports.py [i k t c h b]

Options:

• i = Use Bright Colors to hightlight favorite or rival teams
• k = Use black background
• t = color the time bright white
• c = use ANSI color in output (required for any other color related options)
• n = stop using ANSI color in output
• h = include hockey games in output
• b = include baseball games in output

Note that the option flags are evaluated in order and affect only the output specified (h or b) that comes after them. This allows you to turn on and off output decorations while outputting the list.

Example Use.

Sent to a display file every 5 minutes and then overlayed on my desktop using GeekTool:
