Python application that exports each of the tables in an instance of the Wait Wait Don't Tell Me Stats Page Database as individual JSON files. Each of the JSON files is named after the database table.
- Python 3.10 or newer (Any earlier version of Python is not supported)
- Wait Wait Stats Database v4.6 or higher (Earlier versions are no longer supported) running on MySQL 8.0 or newer
Before the application can be used, a copy of the config.json.dist file needs to be created and named config.json. The config.json file contains the required database connection information to connect and log into a MySQL server.
It is highly recommended to use Python virtual environments to install the required packages and isolate the application from other Python programs. All of the package requirements are stored in requirements.txt.
In case you are working on developing or troubleshooting the program, the development environment requirements are stored in requirements-dev.txt.
