Changes since 1.1

Since ver­sion 1.1, when the soft­ware moved online, bugs and changes have been man­aged on my Man­tis server.

New in ver­sion 1.1

• wxWid­gets GUI dropped, in favour of mov­ing the script to the web. The script now runs silently, gen­er­at­ing an “output.html” file con­tain­ing the results.
• Although designed to be run as a cron job, the .py script can be run from a user’s browser to update the results manually.

New in ver­sion 1.0

• Re-coded the GUI in wxWid­gets instead of Tcl/Tk.
• The app now works out for itself how many play­ers to con­sider, weigh­ing up accu­racy of results against run time.
• Now avail­able as a stand-alone exe­cutable for Windows.
• This is the last ver­sion that is avail­able as a self-contained GUI app. If you would like to down­load this older ver­sion, you can get it here (16MB Win­dows exe­cutable). The Win­dows appli­ca­tion requires MSVCR71.dll to be installed on your sys­tem. If the appli­ca­tion does not start, get the DLL from here and put it in the same direc­tory as teampicker.exe. Source code for the offline ver­sion can be down­loaded here (uses Python 2.5 and wxPython 2.8).

New in ver­sion 0.7−20090421

Fixed an issue where the “£” sign wasn’t being stripped off the prices when using a saved “export.html”. Updated the link to this page. Re-licenced as GPL v3 (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html).

New in ver­sion 0.6−20081117

Now scrapes the TFF web­site for player data auto­mat­i­cally. For offline use, you can save an HTML dump of the “Player Points” page as export.html in the same direc­tory as the script. CSV files are no longer required.

New in ver­sion 0.5−20081114

Updated to accept CSV files in the “Player Points” lay­out used in the 08–09 sea­son. No more re-ordering columns! See the new Data.csv for an example.

New in ver­sion 0.4−20080419

Now with extra fun things that almost made me wish I’d stud­ied Com­puter Sci­ence, cour­tesy of the Man with the Knees him­self, Mrs. Mark Harris!

New in ver­sion 0.3−20080418

A GUI! Object-orientation! Error-trapping! Slightly amus­ing error mes­sages! Guar­an­teed 100% superlicious!

New in ver­sion 0.2−20080410
