        Pychallonge provides python bindings for the [CHALLONGE!](http://challonge.com) [API](http://api.challonge.com/v1).
        The pychallonge module was created by [Russ Amos](https://github.com/russ-)
        
        # pychal
        
        Pychal was a fork of pychallonge. The pychal module has been merged into
        the pychallonge. If you are still using pychal you have to migrate to
        pychallonge because it is not longer maintained
        
        # Requirements
        
        - `iso8601`
        - `tzlocal`
        - `pytz`
        - `requests`
        
        # Python version support
        
        - `2.7`
        - `3.4+`
        
        # Installation
        
        For the stable version
        
            pip install pychallonge
        
        For latest development
        
            pip install -e git+http://github.com/ZEDGR/pychallonge#egg=pychallonge
        
        # Usage
        
        ```python
        import challonge
        
        # Tell pychallonge about your [CHALLONGE! API credentials](http://api.challonge.com/v1).
        challonge.set_credentials("your_challonge_username", "your_api_key")
        
        # Retrieve a tournament by its id (or its url).
        tournament = challonge.tournaments.show(3272)
        
        # Tournaments, matches, and participants are all represented as normal Python dicts.
        print(tournament["id"]) # 3272
        print(tournament["name"]) # My Awesome Tournament
        print(tournament["started_at"]) # None
        
        # Retrieve the participants for a given tournament.
        participants = challonge.participants.index(tournament["id"])
        print(len(participants)) # 13
        
        # Start the tournament and retrieve the updated information to see the effects
        # of the change.
        challonge.tournaments.start(tournament["id"])
        tournament = challonge.tournaments.show(tournament["id"])
        print(tournament["started_at"]) # 2011-07-31 16:16:02-04:00
        ```
        
        See [challonge.com](http://api.challonge.com/v1) for full API
        documentation.
        
        # API Issues
        
        The Challonge API has some issues with the attachments endpoints. The
        `create` and `update` endpoints are not working correctly. When you try
        to upload an attachment with asset(file) the API returns 500 internal
        server error. The same happens with asset + description. This issue
        has been reported to Challonge.
        
        Another issue is the check in process has strange behaviour.
        When you undo check in a participant the field 'checked_in' remains True
        but in the website the participant is correctly not checked in.
        That's why the module does not have any tests on this.
        
        Fixed by pychallonge: In the datetime fields the api returns random
        timezone offsets, pychallonge convert those to your machine's local
        time. Also you can set any timezone you want with `set_timezone` function.
        
        # Running the unit tests
        
        Pychallonge comes with a set of unit tests. The tests are not
        comprehensive, but do utilize each method and verify basic
        functionality.
        
        In order to test behavior of the python bindings, API calls must be made
        to CHALLONGE!, which requires a username and api key. To run the tests
        with your credentials, set `CHALLONGE_USER` and `CHALLONGE_KEY`
        appropriately in your environment.
        
            $ git clone http://github.com/ZEDGR/pychalllonge pychallonge
            $ CHALLONGE_USER=my_user CHALLONGE_KEY=my_api_key python pychal/tests.py
            ...............................
            ----------------------------------------------------------------------
            Ran 31 tests in 98.176s
        
            OK
        
        Note that several tournaments are created, published, started, and
        completed over the course of the unit tests. These should be cleaned up
        by the end, but if any of the tests fail they may not be cleaned up. As
        long as the basic functions work, you can clean up errant tournaments as
        follows.
        
        ```python
        import challonge
        challonge.set_credentials("my_user", "my_api_key")
        for t in challonge.tournaments.index():
            if t["name"].startswith("pychal"):
                challonge.tournaments.destroy(t["id"])
        ```
