Weather bot
NOTE: parts of this page describe the Python version of the bot. The Python version is no longer being worked on, and is replaced by the Prosody module.
Use Jabber to get local weather conditions and forecasts. Currently, it supports fetching weather data from:
- Yahoo! Weather,
- The Weather Network,
- Weather Underground, and
- the University of Waterloo Weather Station.
It should be easy to write your own fetchers to use other weather sources.
Requires xmpppy and feedparser.
Set jid, server, port, password, and spooldir in the
configuration file. spooldir must be a directory writable by the bot.
In the configuration file, add a section for each JID and resource that
you want. The section should be named <name>/<resource>, where
<name> is the part of the JID before the @ sign.
