Hi

What is the format for adding a location?

Is it possible to add a specific station? In 'pywu' for example I could do the following:

pywu fetch <api key> pws:IKINGSLY8

Hi,

Yeah, I suppose that could use some clean up. Sorry about that.

I used the location you gave to search for King's Lynn, GB on Weather Underground. From the URL that search returned, I found that the location is 'locid:UKXX0504'. So, I tried it. Then I set it for metric.

If you have any issues, run it with the --debug option and send me the output. Note that will reveal your API key, so you may want to redact that bit.

Hope you enjoy the program. It looks as if I may need to make it a bit more robust :)

Cheers, Eric

Hi Eric

The 'pws:' prefix works:

wunderground.py -l pws:IKINGSLY8

The program is great. In fact it is exactly what I have been looking for.
It is the initial release after all and you will refine it over time!

ewwaller commented 8 years ago

Added some logic to detect if Wunderground.com reports an error that there is no matching logic and/or if the location is ambiguous (For example, 'London' has about 7 locations outside of the one in the UK). The program had previously errored out with a backtrace and an ungraceful exit.

Hi Eric

As you know (previous posts) I have it working for me using pws:<STATION> but I am trying to help iron out the bugs / issues.

Again using 'King's Lynn' as the example it does not work in a simple manner!

wunderground.py -l King's Lynn

results in a prompt.

As there is an apostrophe and a space does it require using escape?
