Description:
pywu 1.1
pywu is a simple python script for fetching data from Weather
Underground’s API. You need an API key to use the script (get it
here).
Installation
pywu is available on PyPI. You can
install it with pip:
pip3 install pywu
If installing from source run:
python3 setup.py build install
Usage
pywu [-h] [-v] [-f <min>] {fetch,current,forecast,info} ...
You must first fetch the data using the fetch command. This stores a
file in /tmp that contains the data. All other commands (current,
forecast, and info) read from this file.
fetch
Pull weather data from server. Use the format ‘<API key> <city>,<state>’
or simply your API key and zip code.
pywu fetch <apikey> 'New York,NY'
pywu fetch <apikey> 10001
You can also specify a language (the default is English). For example:
pywu fetch <apikey> <location> FR
A list of possible language codes can be found
here.
Instead of the above, you may also use a ~/.pywu.conf file and simply
call pywu fetch. See below for more information.

Verbose Output
pywu is designed to stay quiet instead of print information or errors.
This is so these messages will not appear when used with Conky. To
override this, specify the -v parameter:
pywu -v fetch
Fetching Inline
This requires a config file at ~/.pywu.conf. You can also fetch new
information at the same time as you print current/forecast information:
pywu --fetch <min> current condition
pywu -f <min> forecast condition -d 3
pywu will fetch new information if the current information is older than <min>.
Config file
pywu supports reading from a config file as well as passing your API
key/location via command line. A sample configuration:
~/.pywu.conf:
[PYWU]
apikey=<yourapikey>
location=New York City, NY
You can also specify a language within the config file:
[PYWU]
...
language=FR
Conky
pywu can be used with Conky. An example conkyrc is provided in the
examples directory. It’s recommended to have a script call
pywu fetch before conky starts and then periodcally from within the
conkyrc (the example shows every 15 minutes or 900 seconds).
