Related: kcsaff/getkey#2

Apparently the getkey module weather uses is no longer maintained. However, there is a fork (https://github.com/TheIceBergBot/getkey) that has the PyPI package get-key. I will set it as a requirement in setup.py.

Let me know if this fixes your problem, as I don't have access to Windows

[WiebeBaron]

Thanks for getting back so quickly, that has indeed resolved the install problem.

It looks like there may still be a windows related issue, I get the following error (also using CLI):

import weather
forecast = weather.forecast(debug=True)

---

INFO:Debugger has started
INFO:running service "yrno"
INFO:requested url

Exception has occurred: FileNotFoundError
[WinError 3] The system cannot find the path specified: '.cache/weather/fc/xml/New Zealand / Aotearoa'
File "C:\dev\python\MyTest.py", line 6, in
forecast = weather.forecast(debug=True)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
FileNotFoundError: [WinError 3] The system cannot find the path specified: '.cache/weather/fc/xml/New Zealand / Aotearoa'

---

One more small thing is that 'source' from the readme is now 'service' in the weather.forecast definition.

Thanks!

[jenca-adam]

Can you provide the full code so that i can reproduce your issue?

[WiebeBaron]

That is the full source, just the import and the forecast.

Below is the output if calling weather from the command line:

[jenca-adam]

This seems to be an issue with Nominatim returning the country name for New Zealand in multiple languages. I tried to fix this and it seems to work, but if you had any further problems, feel free to create a new issue.

[WiebeBaron]

I tried changing the location by using

forecast=weather.forecast('New York')

and still got this error:

FileNotFoundError: [WinError 3] The system cannot find the path specified: '.cache/weather/fc/xml/New Zealand / Aotearoa'

So I tried just creating that directory (Aotearoa was missing) and it now works! NZ is often called (New Zealand / Aotearoa), that might be causing directory issues?

Thanks for looking at this!
