This uses the freegeoip.net api to obtain your location, and the Yahoo Weather api to obtain the weatehr information.

Setup

By default, this is dynamic, based on your location (via your current ip address).

If you want to make this static, you will need to edit some configurations in the weather.py file.

1. Replace <city> with your city, and <region> with your region (state)

You should always set the city and region in the weather.py file, as sometimes the geolocation doesn't work, or is down

Static Location

1. Comment out the dynamic section

Dynamic Location

1. Uncomment out the dynamic section

Troubleshooting

Sometimes there is an issue with the urllib2 library requesting the url. If you receive an "HTTP version not supported" error (or any other one), you can use the python requests library:

1. Install the requests library: pip install requests.
2. Comment out the import urllib2, along with the 2 lines where urllib2.openurl is used, also commenting out the top 2 exception handlers for urllib2.
3. Uncomment the import requests line, along with the 2 spots it uses requests.get, and also the exception handler.
