Conky Weather Forecast Python Script

I just got a double alert.
In case you wanted to see it here it is.

Code:

    "alerts": [
        {
        "type": "WIN",
        "description": "Winter Weather Advisory",
        "date": "9:31 PM EST on January 12, 2012",
        "date_epoch": "1326421860",
        "expires": "3:00 PM EST on January 13, 2012",
        "expires_epoch": "1326484800",
        "message": "\u000A...Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until 3 PM EST\u000AFriday...\u000A\u000A* locations...northeast Kentucky...southeast Ohio...a large\u000A portion of West Virginia...and extreme western Virginia.\u000A\u000A* Hazard types...snow showers of varying intensity.\u000A\u000A* Accumulations...1 to 3 inches of snow.\u000A\u000A* Timing...overnight into Friday afternoon.\u000A\u000A* Impacts...untreated surfaces may become slippery.

        "phenomena": "WW",
        "significance": "Y"
        }
        ,
        {
        "type": "SPE",
        "description": "Special Statement",
        "date": "8:48 PM EST on January 12, 2012",
        "date_epoch": "1326419280",
        "expires": "10:00 PM EST on January 12, 2012",
        "expires_epoch": "1326423600",
        "message": "\u000AHere is a Special Weather Statement from the National Weather\u000AService...\u000A\u000AJust before 9 o\u0027clock...temperatures have dropped below\u000Afreezing...or will do so very shortly.\u000A\u000AIf you plan to drive this evening...any untreated wet surface may\u000Abecome icy. This is especially true for elevated surfaces such as\u000Abridges.\u000A\u000A\u000A\u000AKtb\u000A\u000A\u000A",
        "phenomena": "SP",
        "significance": "S"
        }
    ]

Now I need to decide what do when this happens in my weather script.
Right now I just have a warning that adds +N More Alerts to the first alert "description" so I can look at the json to read the others if there are more than one alerts.
I don't think I will leave it that way though.

Thanks for sharing, I'll be sure to add that to the json based test files in the conkyForecast package

As the second is a special statement and likely to always be I would think, I'd say you could get away with tagging it on the end of either/both the description and message text you have from the first. Just for loop it with new lines added as you go through as we have in the conkyForecastWU script

Changing the icon set in ~/.conkyForecastWU.config as mentioned in a previous post (ie ICON_SET = e), does not appear to have any effect.

You'll need to delete the existing files you've previously downloaded into the cache folder, it only downloads icon files when you don't have any

I guess I could include the icon set ID in the file names so we have uniqueness...looking at it now

Thank you for your swift reply @kaivalagi, that worked perfectly!

No worries, glad I can help

@arclance - I woke up this morning to old weather data; the python script stopped with an error about 5AM. When I ran the python manually, this is what I got:

Code:

no pull yet
3666.36041093
pulling data
backupUsed: False
pullFailure: False
pullFailure2: False
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/conkyforecast/conkyWunderground.py", line 1107, in <module>
    conkyWeather()
  File "/usr/share/conkyforecast/conkyWunderground.py", line 173, in conkyWeather
    outputString = makeOutput(weatherData, intellicastData, lastPull, moonState, False, False, False) # make output string
  File "/usr/share/conkyforecast/conkyWunderground.py", line 315, in makeOutput
    [currentMoonPhaseString,currentMoonImagePath,moonState] = convertMoonPhase(int(currentMoonAge),int(currentMoonIllumination),moonState) # convert to moon phase string and moonphase image path
  File "/usr/share/conkyforecast/conkyWunderground.py", line 1103, in convertMoonPhase
    moonImagePath = "/usr/share/conkyforecast/images/moonicons/" + moonImage
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'moonImage' referenced before assignment

Examining the json_readable.txt file indicates the following moon info:

Code:

    ,    "moon_phase": {
        "percentIlluminated":"48",
        "ageOfMoon":"22",
        "current_time": {
        "hour":"8",
        "minute":"57"
        },
        "sunset": {
        "hour":"17",
        "minute":"27"
        },
        "sunrise": {
        "hour":"7",
        "minute":"52"
        }
    }

If I am reading the the python correctly, with a percentilluminated of 48, it should be building a path to image 20.png.

Any ideas?

I woke up to the same error too

Code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "conkyWunderground_Weather_confailtest_icast2_moonTest2.py", line 1148, in <module>
    conkyWeather()
  File "conkyWunderground_Weather_confailtest_icast2_moonTest2.py", line 164, in conkyWeather
    outputString = makeOutput(weatherData, intellicastData, lastPull, moonState, False, False, False) # make output string
  File "conkyWunderground_Weather_confailtest_icast2_moonTest2.py", line 309, in makeOutput
    [currentMoonPhaseString,currentMoonImagePath,moonState] = convertMoonPhase(int(currentMoonAge),int(currentMoonIllumination),moonState) # convert to moon phase string and moonphase image path
  File "conkyWunderground_Weather_confailtest_icast2_moonTest2.py", line 1113, in convertMoonPhase
    moonImagePath = "/usr/share/conkyforecast/images/moonicons/" + moonImage
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'moonImage' referenced before assignment

It found out that it was a typo...
This line

PHP Code:


    elif moonState == True:
        if percentIlluminated < 5:

should be this

PHP Code:


    elif moonState == True:
        if percentIlluminated < 50:

it should be line 1068 for you.

I see a lot of coding changes in the past little while are they a part of:

Code:

  14:01:10 ~
         $ conkyForecast --version
conkyForecast v2.24

  14:01:15 ~
         $ conkyForecastWU --version
conkyForecastWU v2.24

I'm slowly coming out of hibernation!

Yup! That fixed it.
