A Question for LinusP and Other Python Coders

[robsmith]

I've seen LinusP has shared some python libraries. I'm not a coder but would like to start gathering Betfair data.

My question is how long would it take an experienced python coder to develop a simple programme to record data using these libraries?

I've used someone in Freelancer and just want to get an idea of costs.

Thanks

About 30-40 seconds

Maybe 30 seconds is pushing it but the libraries are designed to make it very easy to record data (streaming or polling)

Thanks guys. I might read up on python and have a crack myself.

Have you got any database skills? You could be looking at 50,000+ market change events on an active race just pre-play, and at that rate you'll blow-up Excel before the end of the day. But I haven't looked at the Python libraries so I don't know what they store and where.

30s It takes 30s to climb Mount Everest if you start 6ft from the top.

Maybe it's the way I learn or just me being a bit thick but figuring that stuff out on my own takes 50x longer than having it explained 1-1. My problem is TMB....too many birthdays.

Have you got any database skills?

SELECT * FROM Users WHERE Clue > 0;
0 rows returned;

I don't understand any of this Paul and at this point I'm too afraid to ask
