Selection Ids from Basic Historical Data

[epicjono]

I am trying to obtain selection ids from past matches of rugby matches etc through parsing a few months of historical data, downloaded via the basic plan. I was under the impression that betfairlightweight was the perhaps the optimal way to go about investigating previous data but I am having some problems operating directly on the downloaded data.tar files from betfair. I was curious if anyone knows what I should be doing in order to create a setup (in python) for retrieving information from these downloaded files either through utilising betfairlightweight or otherwise?

Any help is greatly appreciated thank you.
