OpenBox scripts

[patrick013]

melodie,

The weather python script is, as Patrick says, a script called from an Openbox pipe menu to display the weather. The one I used on DebWeb is actually gweather3.py. Here's the screenshot again, from the first post of the DebWeb thread.

yweather.py looks identical

If I remember right I had trouble getting the weather info on your script.
Perhaps they changed it.  " yweather.py zipcode Fahrenheit" is all it needs
when setup in obmenu.    I think the old script became obsolete.

Well we have a weather script nonetheless.

thanks for the response.

I was just wondering if the 2 scripts were supposed to work together, (so the answer is no) and what is the problem about ?

djohnston, your menu.xml is huuge!

Does that one accept a code other than zip code for the location? I chose the one I'm using because you can get the code for anywhere in the world by looking it up on weather.com.

I worked on it ... a LOT! It's been a work in progress for some time. I originally started with the one Taco.22 used in Scorpio_RC4. The first thing I had to do was clean up the indentations so it was easily readable for me. Then I gradually added the extra stuff I wanted in there. The only other config I worked on almost as much was the .conkyrc.

I have since added the conky-full package that has more options.

Just the zip code, which is only USA zip codes.    Like I said the gweather script
I had was an older one and actually lost it's weather source.    Your's is a much
newer version rewritten to use the new source, so is working fine then.
