speck-wrapper 0.3.14

A simple wrapper and frontend for weatherAPI.com

speck

speck is a minimal weather app and library to interact with weatherapi.com. It was created by Sachin Cherian and Nevin Jose as their 12th grade Computer Science project and showcases some concepts in Python and some popular development ideas.

Some of the main ideas demonstrated are:

• Usage of functions and classes in Python
• Using packages and modules in Python to separate functionality in code
• Distributing code as packages
• Retrieving and storing data from a remote source
• Serving that data using a GUI toolkit such as Tkinter, and visualization with matplotlib
• Using Version Control software like git to keep track of development and help with collaboration.

See the Wiki for more documentation on some concepts.

Since the project has been completed, this repository will no longer be maintained.

Usage

The speck library

Speck is packaged publicly on PyPi as speck-wrapper

pip install speck-wrapper

Alternatively, to install from source, first clone the repository and then use pip to install it.

git clone https://github.com/schctl/speck.git
cd speck
pip install .

speck can then be imported as a regular python module.

>>> import speck
>>> help(speck)

GUI Frontend

The speck library must be installed for this to work, in addition to requirements listed in app/requirements.txt.

# From the repository's root directory
pip install -r app/requirements.txt

To run the speck app, run main.py under app.

cd app && python main.py

The username and password entry screen is a dummy. The username and password are 11C and 11c2021. Set the SPECK_DEV environment variable to make the app ignore the login screen.
