I got it to work:
Use this for the import - import urllib.request
the use this: dom = minidom.parse(urllib.request.urlopen(url))
Here's the code that works in 3.2:
from pprint import pprint
import urllib.request
from xml.dom import minidom
WEATHER_URL = 'http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/forecastrss?p=%s'
WEATHER_NS = 'http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/ns/rss/1.0'
def weather_for_zip(zip_code):
url = WEATHER_URL % zip_code
dom = minidom.parse(urllib.request.urlopen(url))
forecasts = []
for node in dom.getElementsByTagNameNS(WEATHER_NS, 'forecast'):
forecasts.append({
'date': node.getAttribute('date'),
'low': node.getAttribute('low'),
'high': node.getAttribute('high'),
'condition': node.getAttribute('text')
})
ycondition = dom.getElementsByTagNameNS(WEATHER_NS, 'condition')[0]
return {
'current_condition': ycondition.getAttribute('text'),
'current_temp': ycondition.getAttribute('temp'),
'forecasts': forecasts,
'title': dom.getElementsByTagName('title')[0].firstChild.data
}
pprint(weather_for_zip(12303))
Hello,
I tried it and it works fine (Python 3.2, Windows XP (5.1.2600) )
Here's what I got:
{'current_condition': 'Light Rain',
'current_temp': '37',
'forecasts': [{'condition': 'AM Rain/Snow',
'date': '23 Dec 2011',
'high': '39',
'low': '16'},
{'condition': 'Partly Cloudy',
'date': '24 Dec 2011',
'high': '31',
'low': '20'}],
'title': 'Yahoo! Weather - Schenectady, NY'}
I'll probably tinker with it to make it show the weather here in Algiers
(Algeria, North Africa).
Thanks,
