Oraje Weather

This is a Gnome applet to view Yahoo! Weather forecasts.

This application uses Yahoo! Weather feeds and it's not endorsed or promoted by Yahoo! in any way.

In case you're wondering, "Oraje" is a Spanish word that means "Weather".

Install

This package requires:

  • Python >= 2.6
  • PyGTK2 >= 2.16.0
  • Gnome python bindings (including applet support)
  • Gnome 2 (also known as "Classic Gnome").

Optionally dbus is used to support NetworkManager and notifications.

$ sudo python setup.py install --prefix=/usr

PS: some distributions install the applet by default in /usr/local, and Bonobo doesn't find the files in that path. The 'prefix' switch it's used to fix that, although it isn't necessary in all cases.

WOEID

Yahoo! Weather API doesn't provide a way to find a location, so you have to browse Yahoo! Weather (http://weather.yahoo.com/), find your location and get the number at the end of the URL. That's your WOEID.

For example:

http://weather.yahoo.com/england/berkshire/reading-32997/

The WOEID for Reading (UK) is 32997.
