Python library for the OrgaTalk LAN Party Database

This library provides

• party and party series models,
• functionality to deserialize parties and party series from TOML, and
• functionality to serialize parties (but not party series) to TOML

to work with data for and from the public LAN party database by OrgaTalk.

Data and code repositories for the project are available at: https://github.com/lanpartydb

Status

Installation

With pip:

$ pip install lanpartydb

Or with uv:

$ uv init
$ uv add lanpartydb

Usage

To serialize a party with only the required attributes to TOML:

from datetime import date

from lanpartydb.models import Party
from lanpartydb.writing import serialize_party

party = Party(
    slug='megalan-2023',
    title='MegaLAN 2023',
    start_on=date(2023, 11, 17),
    end_on=date(2023, 11, 19),
)

toml = serialize_party(party)

print(toml)

And to serialize a party with all available attributes to a TOML file:

from datetime import date
from decimal import Decimal
from pathlib import Path

from lanpartydb.models import Links, Location, Party, Resource
from lanpartydb.writing import serialize_party

party = Party(
    slug='superlan-2024',
    title='SuperLAN 2024',
    series_slug='superlan',
    organizer_entity='SuperLAN Association',
    start_on=date(2024, 5, 24),
    end_on=date(2024, 5, 26),
    seats=420,
    attendees=397,
    online=False,
    location=Location(
        name='City Hall',
        country_code='us',
        city='Los Angeles',
        zip_code='90099',
        street='123 North Hill Street',
        latitude=Decimal('34.06101057935884'),
        longitude=Decimal('-118.23974355902666'),
    ),
    links=Links(
        website=Resource(
            url='https://www.superlan.example/',
            offline=False,
        ),
    ),
)

toml = serialize_party(party)

path = Path('./superlan-2024.toml')
path.write_text(toml)
