RE: Using a variable to replace an integer? (Except it isn't working!) - s1monsays - Jul-25-2017

Attempt:

#note: the url is actually there in the code, but it was preventing me from posting this
url = 'freegeoip'
try:
     with closing(urlopen(url)) as response:
           location = json.loads(response.read())
           loc_c = location['city']
           loc_s = location['region_name']
except:
           print('step 1 failed')
 
client = yweather.Client()
wid = client.fetch_woeid('loc_c, loc_s')
print(wid)
print('steps 1 and 2 finished')
 
print('step 3 started')
loc_weather = client.fetch_weather(wid)
loc_weather["condition"]["text"]
loc_weather["condition"]["temp"]
print('step 3 finished')

Also while I was typing this, a new traceback popped up:

Error:Traceback (most recent call last):

    loc_weather = client.fetch_weather(wid)

    rss = self._fetch_xml(url)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/yweather.py", line 344, in _fetch_xml
    with contextlib.closing(urlopen(url)) as f:

    return opener.open(url, data, timeout)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 429, in open
    response = self._open(req, data)

    '_open', req)

    result = func(*args)

    return self.do_open(httplib.HTTPConnection, req)

    raise URLError(err)

As I said you need to change also line 12

wid = client.fetch_woeid('loc_c, loc_s')

should be

wid = client.fetch_woeid("{}, {}".format(loc_c, loc_s))

Tried that as well. New traceback:

    loc_weather = client.fetch_weather(wid)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/yweather.py", line 180, in fetch_weather
    rss = self._fetch_xml(url)

    with contextlib.closing(urlopen(url)) as f:

always post the code, the output and like you did - the full traceback.

what was the output from

print (wid)

RE: Using a variable to replace an integer? (Except it isn't working!) - buran - Jul-25-2017

well, now I went to github repo of yweather package
it saysYahoo Weather has discontinued the RSS feed interface this library is based on. There is a new YQL Query interface: https://developer.yahoo.com/weather/

I don't plan on updating this library to use the new endpoint.

any reason why you expect it to work?

The print(wid) gave me "2449574" which is the correct woe_id for where I live, so that part definitely works! (At least I got the first part right, haha)
