Python code weather Led sign

[n3vo]

it looks like you try to use script written by someone else and add the functionality you need. As it is all the forecast data are not accessible outside main() function. Also, your description, that it  reads literally 'forecast.currently', suggest that you pass just that sting. so, not able to test, but would suggest something like this

#!/usr/bin/python
import datetime
import forecastio
from pyledsign.minisign import MiniSign

def main():
"""
Run load_forecast() with the given lat, lng, and time arguments.
"""

   api_key = "My actual key is here, I just took it out for sample"

   lat = -31.967819
   lng = 115.87718
   time = datetime.datetime(2017, 06, 05, 6, 0, 0)

   forecast = forecastio.load_forecast(api_key, lat, lng, time=time)

   mysign = MiniSign(devicetype='sign')

   print "===========Currently Data========="
   current_forecast =  forecast.currently()
   print current_forecast
   # queuemsg queues a message to be sent with the send method
   mysign.queuemsg(data=current_forecast)
   mysign.sendqueue(device='/dev/ttyUSB0')
   

   print "===========Hourly Data========="
   by_hour = forecast.hourly()
   print "Hourly Summary: %s" % (by_hour.summary)

   for hourly_data_point in by_hour.data:
      print hourly_data_point

   print "===========Daily Data========="
   by_day = forecast.daily()
   print "Daily Summary: %s" % (by_day.summary)

   for daily_data_point in by_day.data:
       print daily_data_point


if __name__ == "__main__":
   main()

this assumes that forecast.currently() actually returns string, that can be passed to your device to read it.

thanks! I've never written code for python until yesterday, just trying to figure out how to get the weather information working but could not find many sources on it besides the links I've put in the post above this one. That's why it's copied and pasted, I wouldn't know how to write my own.
