ESPN Fantasy Football to gather data from any public league. A good way to mine data
without webscraping for data manipulation projects.

on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

Installing

With pip:

pip3 install espnff

git clone https://github.com/rbarton65/espnff

cd espnff

python3 setup.py install
