# load epw weather data
from ladybug.epw import EPW
epw_data = EPW('path_to_epw_file')
dry_bulb_temp = epw_data.dry_bulb_temperature

# Get altitude and longitude
from ladybug.location import Location
form ladybug.sunpath import Sunpath
# You can also get the location from epw file if available
sydney = Location('Sydney', 'AUS', latitude=-33.87, longitude=151.22,
                  time_zone=10)
sp = Sunpath.from_location(sydney)
sun = sp.calculate_sun(month=11, day=15, hour=11.0)
print('altitude: {}, azimuth: {}'.format(sun.altitude, sun.azimuth))
>>> altitude: 72.26, azimuth: 32.37
