This is a Python script to calculate a distance matrix, i.e. the distances for all permutations between a set of two locations. It relies on the Bing Maps API to get these distances. In the context of this project, distance matrices were necessary to have the costs - in terms of travel time and km distance - for any combination of two teams on one league level playing in the same division.
This script was developed with Python3 and currently only has one non-Python standardlib dependency. You can install it with pip3 install -r requirements.txt.
Furthermore, you will need to have a Bing Maps API key and save it in a secrets.py in the project directory with bing_maps_key = yourapikey as the content.
python3 matrix.py runs the script that calls the Bing Maps distance API and writes the distance matrix JSON. For this to work, the file specified within with open("kl_b-junioren_niedersachsen.json", "r") as f: has to be presented (We can't share this input data on GitHub, due to requirements by the Challenge provider).
