What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
errors

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
debian wheezy

Please provide any additional information below.

Google's API will accept locations with spaces (e.g. "London, England" instead 
of 
"London,England"). If you try this, you get:

>>> pywapi.get_weather_from_google('london, england')

urllib2.HTTPError: HTTP Error 400: Bad Request

If you cal urllib.quote on the location_id before generating the URL, then it 
fixes it.

Added a new function, get_everything_from_google(country_code, hl) which 
fetches all the available data for all the cities of a specific country.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. live in the United Kingdom using weather.com code UKXX1695
2. using this programme http://blog.jacobean.net/?p=1016
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
at Midnight UK Time the day changes over but the date part doesnt

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
latest raspian 20/07/2014 Raspberry Pi 

Please provide any additional information below.
The date number seems to change some 4-5 hrs later so at 04:00 or 05:00 hrs the 
date part will catch up. 
so at midnight it will say Wednesday 29th June 2014
then at 04:00 or 05:00hrs it will correct it self, not sure if it is defaulting 
to USA Time.

Many Thanks
Tony

What steps will reproduce the problem?
any error in urllib2.urlopen (DNS, etc.)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
expect empty data, not error
where to handle exception? in pywapi x outside

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
version 0.22

Please provide any additional information below.

old code:
handler = urllib2.urlopen(url)

new code:
try: handler = urllib2.urlopen(url)
except urllib2.URLError: return {}

or:
try: handler = urllib2.urlopen(url)
except: return {}

Even using the latest commit from trunk, there are still issues with Python3 
compatibility. For instance:

>>> import pywapi
>>> pywapi.get_loc_id_from_weather_com('new york, ny')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pywapi.py", line 788, in get_loc_id_from_weather_com
    search_string = unidecode(search_string.decode('utf-8'))
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode'

I can confirm this with both py3.2 on Debian unstable and py3.3 on Ubuntu 
raring.

Can you please add return values for the Sky Conditions like:

where: 
SKY_COVER = { "SKC":"clear",
              "CLR":"clear",
              "NSC":"clear",
              "NCD":"clear",
              "FEW":"a few ",
              "SCT":"scattered ",
              "BKN":"broken ",
              "OVC":"overcast",
              "///":"",
              "VV":"indefinite ceiling" }

And height of the clouds is:
 height = distance(int(height)*100,"FT"


FEW035, SKC, SCT120

 Can be a mix like: FEW004 SCT022 BKN03

The precipitation values for the last 1hr 3hr and 6hr

Heat index temp FAHRENHEIT.

Temperature history max min, FAHRENHEIT

See :http://w1.weather.gov/obhistory/KBOW.html for a reference of the values

Thanks.

The example fails with an IndexError at line 209 instead of running to 
completion.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Python 2.5.1 on a Macintosh OS X 10.5.7.

Please provide any additional information below.

Use this try/except block in get_weather_from_noaa

        except IndexError:
            weather_data[tag] = ''

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.call: weather = pywapi.get_weather_from_google('Bourget+du+lac')
2.or call for any city that will have an accentuated character in the name
3.

pywapi-0.3.8 on both Ubuntu 14.04 and Raspberry Pi Debian Wheezy


Please provide any additional information below.

This error does not appear 100% of the time. It only pops up when the 'wind' 
tag is empty/missing.

It might be more useful if each get_weather_from_ function returned the
same array or dictionary so programs could be written more generically (for
example, the user selects which provider, which only changes the
get_weather_from_ function that's used to request information).  Even if
some fields were blank for some providers, it would be a better interface
to use.

Beginning a few days ago (around 2013-10-24), get_location_ids() no longer 
works for most cities.

For instance, help(pywapi.get_location_ids) suggests using 'Los Angeles' as a 
search string. pywapi.get_location_ids("Los Angeles") gives a warning about 
'str' not being a unicode object, and returns [].
pywapi.get_location_ids(u"Los Angeles") returns [] without the warning.

The problem seems to be that the server (Yahoo?) is no longer accepting spaces 
in location names. If I truncate the name at the first space, 
pywapi.get_location_ids(u"Los") does return a list of IDs which includes 
(u'USCA0638', u'Los Angeles, CA') as the first item.

But that workaround doesn't work for all cities, because it only returns at 
most 10 results, so if you need to search for something like "Los" or "Santa" 
there's no guarantee of getting the city you want in the first 10 results.

I'm not sure if there's any solution for this (I know you don't control the 
server and this isn't pywapi's fault) but I wanted to make sure you knew about 
the problem. Maybe there's a clever workaround that I haven't found yet. I hope 
so -- pywapi is a super useful library.

This is with the pywapi currently in pip, under Debian sid and Python 2.7.5.

I think there is a typo in code, pywapi.py#L749

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~pywapi-devel/python-weather-api/trunk/view/head:/py
wapi.py#L749

really should be 3.3 not 3.4.

http://code.google.com/intl/zh-
CN/apis/gears/geolocation_network_protocol.html

Now that distributions like Ubuntu are beginning the transition, it's time to 
take this step. Not saying to deprecate the Python 2 version, btw. 

Not a dev, but happy to test!

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Try an invalid location
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
A "success" variable being false is preferable; none exists

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Call "get_weather_from_google" multiple times.

Sometimes you can retrieve values and sometimes you end up with "Unsupported 
API". Since it is generally working, Google seems to have servers, that do not 
answer to pywapi any more.

pywapi.get_weather_from_weather_com( "US Zip" , imperial )  isn't returning 
data anymore.  I'm just getting an error message.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "pywapi-weather-com-example.py", line 7, in <module>
    kalamata = pywapi.get_weather_from_weather_com('USOR0169', 'imperial')

    tag)[0].firstChild.data
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'data'

It still works with the default GRXX0036 location

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install trunk
2. Try to import pywapi
3. Get ImportError about urllib.request

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect to be able to import pywapi, instead get an ImportError.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Python 2.6

Please provide any additional information below.
If Python 3.X is required for running trunk, it'd be nice to let users know.

Yahoo recommends changing the city code paramater from 'p' to 'w'.  'p' is 
deprecated.

See http://developer.yahoo.com/weather/  just underneath the section 
REQUEST PARAMETERS.

Using 'p' does not work for my city in Australia.  It may still work for 
US cities. 'w' does work for my city.

Edit examples/pywapi-example.py to use Swanbourne, Australia as weather 
code (1098737)
Run python examples/pywapi-example.py

The expected output is some weather info, the actual error is an 
IndexError traceback.

Version is python 2.4.4 (version shouldn't matter in this case)

OS is dreamhost.com's, which is some sort of Linux running in a VM, 
apparently.

If the XML returned from Weather.com contains empty (but valid) tags, the call 
to get_weather_from_weather_com() raises an AttributeError with the following 
message:

>>> pywapi.get_weather_from_weather_com('AUX0025')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pywapi.py", line 186, in get_weather_from_weather_com
    tag)[0].getElementsByTagName(tag2)[0].firstChild.data
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'data'

Using python 2 everything works as expected:

$ python
Python 2.7.3 (default, Jan 13 2013, 11:20:46)
[GCC 4.6.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pywapi
>>> weather = pywapi.get_weather_from_weather_com('GMXX3828')
>>>


But in python3 I get the following error:

$ python3
Python 3.2.3 (default, Mar  1 2013, 11:53:50)
[GCC 4.6.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pywapi
>>> weather = pywapi.get_weather_from_weather_com('GMXX3828')
Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.2/dist-packages/pywapi.py", line 212, in get_weather_from_weather_com
    tag)[0].firstChild.data
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'data'
>>>

Anyone got an idea what went wrong? It does not happen for all stations, just 
for a few.
Thanks in advance

I wrote some code that can get forecast from www.weather.com
And I want to share it.

Version 0.3.5. Python 3 on Arch Linux.

Tests:
weather_com_result = pywapi.get_weather_from_weather_com('10001')
yahoo_result = pywapi.get_weather_from_yahoo('10001')
noaa_result = pywapi.get_weather_from_noaa('KJFK')

Only the first test fails:
  File "/usr/lib/python3.3/site-packages/pywapi.py", line 203, in get_weather_from_weather_com
    if weather_dom.getElementsByTagName('dayf') > 0:
TypeError: unorderable types: NodeList() > int()

Test does not fail with version 0.3.4.

It may be useful to be able to force using of Celsius in the results. E.g. 
google returns Fahrenheit for forecasts which is unusable in non-us countries.

The Python Package Index is the repository of software for the Python 
programming language. When you make a new release we expect to find it there.

Please don't forget to include it when you make a new one.

Features:
* Port to Python 3
* Return all weather data from google about a specific country
* Return all weather data from yahoo about a specific country (experimental)
* Convert wind direction from degrees to a direction like N, S, E, W and 
combinations
* Convert wind scale from km_per_hour to beaufort.

Currently, pywapi uses eval() to parse the json response from Yahoo's YQL 
service, which is unsafe. The relevant code should be changed to use the 
simplejson module instead.

It's a pretty easy fix to add the visibility field to data_structure tuple.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Call pywapi.get_weather_from_yahoo('CAXX1978')

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect correctly-parsed weather data to be returned. Instead, pywapi crashes 
with traceback:

File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pywapi.py", line 317, in 
get_weather_from_yahoo
    weather_data['geo']['lat'] = dom.getElementsByTagName('geo:lat')[0].firstChild.data
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'data'


This has been fixed as of 0.3.1, reporting here for posterity.

Please support openweathermap.org

Python 2

import ast
import urllib2
weather = 
ast.literal_eval(urllib2.urlopen('http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather
?q=Paris,fr&units=metric').read())


Python 3
import ast
import urllib.request
weather = 
ast.literal_eval(urllib.request.urllopen('http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5
/weather?q=Paris,fr&units=metric').read())

For all services to support, see http://openweathermap.org/api

You mention in the readme that to lookup a station id we should
"Other way to get the station ID: use this library: 
http://code.google.com/p/python-weather/ and Weather.location2station function."

That code is now broken because Google has removed the old geo API it was based 
on.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Make an api call to weather.com, such as this:
weathercom = pywapi.get_weather_from_weather_com('94117')
pprint.pprint(weathercom['forecasts'][0])

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
This correctly shows the next available forecast, however the date, and the day 
of the week do not match. For example, today is Sunday, June 22nd. The returned 
data set looks like this:
{'date': u'Jun 23',
 'day': {'brief_text': u'',
         'chance_precip': u'0',
         'humidity': u'0',
         'icon': u'',
         'text': u'',
         'wind': {'direction': u'0',
                  'gust': u'N/A',
                  'speed': u'calm',
                  'text': u'CALM'}},
 'day_of_week': u'Sunday',
 'high': u'12',
 'low': u'11',
 'night': {'brief_text': u'P Cloudy',
           'chance_precip': u'10',
           'humidity': u'90',
           'icon': u'29',
           'text': u'Partly Cloudy',
           'wind': {'direction': u'255',
                    'gust': u'N/A',
                    'speed': u'20',
                    'text': u'WSW'}},
 'sunrise': u'5:49 AM',
 'sunset': u'8:35 PM'}

Note how the forecast is for tomorrow, June 23rd, 2014, but the day of the week 
is listed as Sunday. These do not match. June 23rd is a Monday. I don't know if 
I should believe the day of the week, or the date.
