wrote code to unzip .gz files on windows systems

[russodanielp]

I added a few lines of code for this to work on Windows systems. There is probably a better way to do this like using gzip to read the xml and using elementree to parse the string, but this was more straightforward.

@russodanielp Have you tested this? I can't test it myself on Windows, but if it works for you, I'll merge it in soon.

[russodanielp]

Yeah works on my machine....also would be available to troubleshoot any issues windows users may have.

Also, is there any documentation for the GameDay XML data provided by MLB? I'm kinda going through your code to figure it out currently....

[panzarino]

@russodanielp I haven't found any docs on the XML files, I just did my best to understand what everything is.

[russodanielp]

@panzarino Okay thanks...I am writing some code to make querying by player a bit easier. Would this be something you would be interested in incorporating?

[panzarino]

@russodanielp yes definitely, I would really appreciate it. Please do submit a PR if you are able to make it easier.

I'll push a release within the next couple of days with these changes.

[russodanielp]

@panzarino okay. I believe after looking in your code there is no way to directly get batting stats for a player right?

[panzarino]

@russodanielp other than by selecting the game and then player stats and then batter stats, there is no other way to get stats for a single player right now.

Released in 2.3.2.
