This is a port of github.com/agoragames/leaderboard

(a ruby leaderboard library with redis as a backend) to python.

The intention is to track the implementation of upstream, except for adjustments to make the interface pythonic.

This readme will be updated with python info as soon as it exists.

It has been tested with these pythons:

* CPython 2.6.5

The intention is to support python 2.5-2.x.

Python3 is unsupported for now.

It requires redis-py (github.com/andymccurdy/redis-py) and anyjson (bitbucket.org/runeh/anyjson).

Installation:

pip install -r requirements.pip

Tracking the ruby upstream:

See the last_ported branch for the last version of upstream (ruby) which has made it into this master.  If you need this fork ported to a later upstream (for new features or bugfixes), just tell me.

Leaderboards backed by Redis in Ruby, redis.io.

Builds off ideas proposed in blog.agoragames.com/2011/01/01/creating-high-score-tables-leaderboards-using-redis/.

Install the gem:

gem "leaderboard", "~> 2.0.0"

Make sure your redis server is running! Redis configuration is outside the scope of this README, but check out the Redis documentation, redis.io/documentation.

The gem has been built and tested under Ruby 1.8.7 and Ruby 1.9.2

Create a new leaderboard or attach to an existing leaderboard named ‘highscores’:

ruby-1.9.2-p180 :002 > highscore_lb = Leaderboard.new('highscores')
 => #<Leaderboard:0x0000010307b530 @leaderboard_name="highscores", @page_size=25, @redis_connection=#<Redis client v2.2.2 connected to redis://localhost:6379/0 (Redis v2.2.5)>>

If you need to pass in options for Redis, you can do this in the initializer:

ruby-1.9.2-p180 :007 > redis_options = {:host => 'localhost', :port => 6379, :db => 1}
 => {:host=>"localhost", :port=>6379, :db=>1} 
ruby-1.9.2-p180 :008 > highscore_lb = Leaderboard.new('highscores', Leaderboard::DEFAULT_OPTIONS, redis_options)
 => #<Leaderboard:0x00000103095200 @leaderboard_name="highscores", @page_size=25, @redis_connection=#<Redis client v2.2.2 connected to redis://localhost:6379/1 (Redis v2.2.5)>>

You can pass in an existing connection to Redis using :redis_connection in the Redis options hash:

ruby-1.9.2-p180 :009 > redis = Redis.new
 => #<Redis client v2.2.2 connected to redis://127.0.0.1:6379/0 (Redis v2.2.5)> 
ruby-1.9.2-p180 :010 > redis_options = {:redis_connection => redis}
 => {:redis_connection=>#<Redis client v2.2.2 connected to redis://127.0.0.1:6379/0 (Redis v2.2.5)>} 
ruby-1.9.2-p180 :011 > highscore_lb = Leaderboard.new('highscores', Leaderboard::DEFAULT_OPTIONS, redis_options)
 => #<Leaderboard:0x000001028791e8 @leaderboard_name="highscores", @page_size=25, @redis_connection=#<Redis client v2.2.2 connected to redis://127.0.0.1:6379/0 (Redis v2.2.5)>>

You can set the page size to something other than the default page size (25):

ruby-1.9.2-p180 :012 > highscore_lb.page_size = 5
 => 5 
ruby-1.9.2-p180 :013 > highscore_lb
 => #<Leaderboard:0x000001028791e8 @leaderboard_name="highscores", @page_size=5, @redis_connection=#<Redis client v2.2.2 connected to redis://127.0.0.1:6379/0 (Redis v2.2.5)>>

Add members to your leaderboard using rank_member:

ruby-1.9.2-p180 :014 > 1.upto(10) do |index|
ruby-1.9.2-p180 :015 >     highscore_lb.rank_member("member_#{index}", index)
ruby-1.9.2-p180 :016?>   end
 => 1

You can call rank_member with the same member and the leaderboard will be updated automatically.

Get some information about your leaderboard:

ruby-1.9.2-p180 :020 > highscore_lb.total_members
 => 10 
ruby-1.9.2-p180 :021 > highscore_lb.total_pages
 => 1

Get some information about a specific member(s) in the leaderboard:

ruby-1.9.2-p180 :022 > highscore_lb.score_for('member_4')
 => 4.0 
ruby-1.9.2-p180 :023 > highscore_lb.rank_for('member_4')
 => 7 
ruby-1.9.2-p180 :024 > highscore_lb.rank_for('member_10')
 => 1

Get page 1 in the leaderboard:

ruby-1.9.2-p180 :025 > highscore_lb.leaders(1)
 => [{:member=>"member_10", :rank=>1, :score=>10.0}, {:member=>"member_9", :rank=>2, :score=>9.0}, {:member=>"member_8", :rank=>3, :score=>8.0}, {:member=>"member_7", :rank=>4, :score=>7.0}, {:member=>"member_6", :rank=>5, :score=>6.0}, {:member=>"member_5", :rank=>6, :score=>5.0}, {:member=>"member_4", :rank=>7, :score=>4.0}, {:member=>"member_3", :rank=>8, :score=>3.0}, {:member=>"member_2", :rank=>9, :score=>2.0}, {:member=>"member_1", :rank=>10, :score=>1.0}]

You can pass various options to the calls ‘leaders`, `around_me` and `ranked_in_list`. Valid options are :with_scores, :with_rank, :use_zero_index_for_rank and :page_size. Below is an example of retrieving the first page in the leaderboard without ranks:

ruby-1.9.2-p180 :026 > highscore_lb.leaders(1, :with_scores => true, :with_rank => false, :use_zero_index_for_rank => false)
 => [{:member=>"member_10", :score=>9.0}, {:member=>"member_9", :score=>7.0}, {:member=>"member_8", :score=>5.0}, {:member=>"member_7", :score=>3.0}, {:member=>"member_6", :score=>1.0}, {:member=>"member_5", :score=>0.0}, {:member=>"member_4", :score=>0.0}, {:member=>"member_3", :score=>0.0}, {:member=>"member_2", :score=>0.0}, {:member=>"member_1", :score=>0.0}]

Below is an example of retrieving the first page in the leaderboard without scores or ranks:

ruby-1.9.2-p180 :028 > highscore_lb.leaders(1, :with_scores => false, :with_rank => false)
 => [{:member=>"member_10"}, {:member=>"member_9"}, {:member=>"member_8"}, {:member=>"member_7"}, {:member=>"member_6"}, {:member=>"member_5"}, {:member=>"member_4"}, {:member=>"member_3"}, {:member=>"member_2"}, {:member=>"member_1"}]

Add more members to your leaderboard:

ruby-1.9.2-p180 :029 > 50.upto(95) do |index|
ruby-1.9.2-p180 :030 >     highscore_lb.rank_member("member_#{index}", index)
ruby-1.9.2-p180 :031?>   end
 => 50 
ruby-1.9.2-p180 :032 > highscore_lb.total_pages
 => 3

Get an “Around Me” leaderboard for a member:

ruby-1.9.2-p180 :033 > highscore_lb.around_me('member_53')
 => [{:member=>"member_65", :rank=>31, :score=>65.0}, {:member=>"member_64", :rank=>32, :score=>64.0}, {:member=>"member_63", :rank=>33, :score=>63.0}, {:member=>"member_62", :rank=>34, :score=>62.0}, {:member=>"member_61", :rank=>35, :score=>61.0}, {:member=>"member_60", :rank=>36, :score=>60.0}, {:member=>"member_59", :rank=>37, :score=>59.0}, {:member=>"member_58", :rank=>38, :score=>58.0}, {:member=>"member_57", :rank=>39, :score=>57.0}, {:member=>"member_56", :rank=>40, :score=>56.0}, {:member=>"member_55", :rank=>41, :score=>55.0}, {:member=>"member_54", :rank=>42, :score=>54.0}, {:member=>"member_53", :rank=>43, :score=>53.0}, {:member=>"member_52", :rank=>44, :score=>52.0}, {:member=>"member_51", :rank=>45, :score=>51.0}, {:member=>"member_50", :rank=>46, :score=>50.0}, {:member=>"member_10", :rank=>47, :score=>10.0}, {:member=>"member_9", :rank=>48, :score=>9.0}, {:member=>"member_8", :rank=>49, :score=>8.0}, {:member=>"member_7", :rank=>50, :score=>7.0}, {:member=>"member_6", :rank=>51, :score=>6.0}, {:member=>"member_5", :rank=>52, :score=>5.0}, {:member=>"member_4", :rank=>53, :score=>4.0}, {:member=>"member_3", :rank=>54, :score=>3.0}, {:member=>"member_2", :rank=>55, :score=>2.0}]

Get rank and score for an arbitrary list of members (e.g. friends):

ruby-1.9.2-p180 :034 > highscore_lb.ranked_in_list(['member_1', 'member_62', 'member_67'])
 => [{:member=>"member_1", :rank=>56, :score=>1.0}, {:member=>"member_62", :rank=>34, :score=>62.0}, {:member=>"member_67", :rank=>29, :score=>67.0}]

• Bulk insert

• Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn’t been implemented or the bug hasn’t been fixed yet

• Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn’t requested it and/or contributed it

• Fork the project

• Start a feature/bugfix branch

• Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution

• Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.

• Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
