Conky - Weather Underground Script

Question

Since weather.com is ending their free XOAP service conkyForecast will no longer work at the end of this month.
Therefore I wrote a small script to get the temperature and condition from Weather Underground
#!/usr/bin/python
# Fetches Weather info from Weather Underground
# Usage: ./wundergound.py zipcode
# International:
# * Go to http://www.wunderground.com/
# * Find your city
# * Click the RSS icon
# * Station ID is the number that follows /stations/ in the url
# Values are either True or False
metric=False
international=False
import sys
import feedparser
def usage():
print("Usage:")
if international:
print(" ./wunderground.py StationID")
else:
print(" ./weunderground.py zipcode")
sys.exit(1)
if not len(sys.argv) == 2:
usage()
location=sys.argv[1]
if international:
url="http://rss.wunderground.com/auto/rss_full/global/stations/"
else:
url="http://rss.wunderground.com/auto/rss_full/"
feed=feedparser.parse(url+location)
if not feed.feed:
# Assume Error
print("Error")
sys.exit(1)
current=feed['items'][0].title
if metric:
temp=current.split(",")[0].split(":")[1].split("/")[1].strip()
else:
temp=current.split(",")[0].split(":")[1].split("/")[0].strip()
condition=current.split(",")[1].split("-")[0].strip()
print(temp, "-", condition)
Example:
$ ./wunderground 11201
69.6F - Clear
Conky:
${execi 600 /home/pyther/scripts/wunderground 11201}
Enjoy!

Here is the documentation for feedparser: http://packages.python.org/feedparser/
What exactly are you trying to do? In the script feedparser is getting the first rss entry and parsing it.
If you want the afternoon, night, or next day entries...
afternoon=feed['items'][1].title # afternoon
tonight=feed['items'][2].title # Tonight
tomorrow=feed['items'][3].title # tomorrow
