This is a fun demo to demonstrate how the request library works and get some live weather data
- python3 (Python is an open source general progarmming language https://wiki.python.org/moin/)
- git (Git is a version control system https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git)
- Also an editor of your choice to look at the code https://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonEditors
- Make sure you have Python3 installed. Follow these guides:
- Make sure you have git installed.
git clone https://github.com/PythonTriCities/weatherdata.git
- If you had trouble with the git install or just want to download the files as a zip, click this link starthere
- Create the virtual environment if it doesn't exist:
-
On Linux/Mac it is: python3 -m venv /path/to/new/virtual/environment
-
I like to set the path to be in the directory with a folder that shows the version of Python that I am running, so I include the python version I am using in the path
python3 -m venv ./.venv/python3.6
- On Windows it is c:>c:\Python35\python -m venv c:\path\to\myenv
c:\>c:\Python35\python -m venv c:\path\to\myenv
- Start your virtual environment.
- Linux/Mac:
source ./.venv/bin/activate
- Windows:
c:\path\to\myenv\Scripts\activate.bat
- and then for both Linux/Mac and Windows import the requirements file
pip install -r requirements.txt
- Test that it is not legacy Python, ie 2.7
python --version
- You should see something like this:
Python 3.6.4
- Now checkout the branch named one, and view the code with your editor, when ready run app.py script
git checkout one
python app.py
- Work your way through all 4 examples by checking out the other branches two, three and four:
git checkout two
git checkout three
git checkout four
- each time you can run the program with
python app.py
No test for this script, but we will cover that in later examples
