A working re-implementation of the weather module for Sopel
Project description
Introduction
sopel-weather is a weather lookup plugin for Sopel.
Since Yahoo deprecated their weather API on January 3, 2019, a reimplementation of the weather plugin was necessary
Installing
If possible, use pip to install this plugin. Below are example commands; you might need to add sudo and/or call a different pip (e.g. pip3) depending on your system and environment. Do not use setup.py install; Sopel won’t be able to load the plugin correctly.
Published release
pip install sopel-modules.weather
From source
Clone the repo, then run this in /path/to/sopel-weather
pip install .
Configuring
You can automatically configure this plugin using the sopel configure –plugins command.
However, if you want or need to configure this plugin manually, you will need to define the following in ~/.sopel/default.cfg
[weather]
geocoords_provider = GEOCOORDS_PROVIDER
geocoords_api_key = GEOCOORDS_API_KEY
weather_provider = WEATHER_PROVIDER
weather_api_key = WEATHER_API_KEY

Requirements
Modern weather APIs require Latitude & Longitude as inputs to their APIs, so we need to leverage a GeoCoords API to convert location searches to coordinates.
