Find all players with the longest winning streak

I am trying to crack the problem of finding the player(s) with the longest streak of winning using Python's 3.2. I am only able to work out an unscalable solution, but I could not come up with a better one yet. Can anyone please help me with a better solution? Also, I am curious how to adapt such solution to output the player(s) with the longest winning streak per month or year?

Below is the sample dataframe players_results

Player_id     Match_Date             Match_Result
401           2021-05-04 00:00:00    W
401           2021-05-09 00:00:00    L
401           2021-05-16 00:00:00    W
401           2021-05-18 00:00:00    W
401           2021-05-22 00:00:00    L
401           2021-06-15 00:00:00    L
401           2021-06-16 00:00:00    W
401           2021-06-18 00:00:00    W
402           2021-05-14 00:00:00    L
402           2021-05-23 00:00:00    L
402           2021-05-24 00:00:00    W
402           2021-06-01 00:00:00    W
402           2021-06-02 00:00:00    W
402           2021-07-01 00:00:00    W
403           2021-05-03 00:00:00    L
403           2021-05-11 00:00:00    W
403           2021-05-12 00:00:00    W
403           2021-05-13 00:00:00    W
403           2021-05-20 00:00:00    W
403           2021-05-25 00:00:00    W
403           2021-07-06 00:00:00    L
404           2021-05-10 00:00:00    W
404           2021-05-16 00:00:00    W
404           2021-05-20 00:00:00    W
404           2021-05-22 00:00:00    W
404           2021-05-28 00:00:00    L
405           2021-05-07 00:00:00    L
405           2021-05-25 00:00:00    W
405           2021-06-06 00:00:00    L
405           2021-06-07 00:00:00    W
405           2021-06-14 00:00:00    W
405           2021-07-01 00:00:00    W

Expected Output

player_id     longest_winningstreak
403           5

My unscalable code

df = players_results.groupby('player_id').count()

    else:
        d.append(z)
        z = 0
b.append([df['player_id'][2],max(d)])

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? [closed]

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? public fucntion __construct(Application $app, $Router $roouter) { } I have read the documentation and some online tutorial but I can find any clear explanation. I am learning Laravel and I am wondering where does this kernel constructor receives its arguments from. "POSTMOTERM" CLARIFICATION: Here is more clarity.I have checked the boostrap/app.php and it is only used for boostrapping the interfaces into the container class. What is not clear to me is where and how the Kernel class is instatiated and the arguments passed to the object calling the constructor.Something similar to; obj = new kernel(arg1,arg2) or, is the framework using some magic functions somewhere? Special gratitude to those who burn their eyeballs and brain cells on this trivia before it goes into a full blown menopause alias "MARKED AS DUPLICATE". To some of the itchy-finger keyboard warriors, a.k.a The mods,because I believe in th...
