Getting Started with Python YQL


I want to try to use the Yahoo Fantasy Sports API for my fantasy football league, but it seems like I can only access the data if I authenticate with Yahoo. Makes sense. However, I am new to Python and have no idea how to get started.

I found a python module on the web link text but I don't know how to "install" a file that has a .gz extension on a windows machine.

Simply, any help you can provide on how to use oauth with yahoo in python will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance


Solution

  • Just use easysinstall

    c:/python25/scripts/easy_install.exe yql

    Replace path with your computer's python path if necessary.
