help getting historical scores

[rfcohen]

All I want is all the scores from a particular day in a computable form.

Seems like this library should do it for me. As I'm tinkering with it I keep getting this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/cohenrf/Documents/Dev/RollOverRuns/RollOverRuns.py", line 12, in <module>
    scoreboard = mlbgame.box_score(game)
  File "/Users/cohenrf/Documents/Dev/RollOverRuns/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mlbgame/__init__.py", line 190, in box_score
    data = mlbgame.game.box_score(game_id)
  File "/Users/cohenrf/Documents/Dev/RollOverRuns/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mlbgame/game.py", line 230, in box_score
    data = mlbgame.data.get_box_score(game_id)
  File "/Users/cohenrf/Documents/Dev/RollOverRuns/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mlbgame/data.py", line 57, in get_box_score
    year, month, day = get_date_from_game_id(game_id)
  File "/Users/cohenrf/Documents/Dev/RollOverRuns/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mlbgame/data.py", line 156, in get_date_from_game_id
    year, month, day, _discard = game_id.split('_', 3)
AttributeError: 'GameScoreboard' object has no attribute 'split'

with this code:

import mlbgame

games = mlbgame.day(2018, 8, 4)
print (len(games))

for game in games:
    scoreboard = mlbgame.box_score(game)
    game.nice_score()))
    print (game.nice_score())

take out the box_score() call and it runs but I don't get the answer I want.

Change this line scoreboard = mlbgame.box_score(game) to scoreboard = mlbgame.box_score(game.game_id) in order to get rid of that error.

Fixed it. thanks for the 'duh' type question.
