hi!
ypatios(e)k dio:
That's a VERY interesting idea... :-D Think you could publish some external?
sure, this will require pyext to work.
As for the copyright issues, why not requesting such a "written consent from Yahoo!" ? They may find it a reasonable use. Maybe...
i dont belive so :) specially since it might end up being used by anyone from anywhere ...

hi anyone knows of an online worldwide forecast service? I am developing some python scripts with Pyext external that retrieve different type of data from the net into PD. At the moment i have been using yahoo weather, this is quite handy because they have RSS feed that can be easily manipulated from python and returned into PD. Currently i have scripts that tell me the external IP of my computer and another one that uses the IP to retrieve geolocation data (lat, long, nearby city, country ), using this i think i should be able to ask yahoo for weather data of an specific city and country and from there access the RSS. However I think there are some copyright issues with yahoo weather. I read a notice in the HTML source of yahoo weather saying that this data is not to be used without permission " ...You are prohibited from using or repurposing this data in any way without express written consent from Yahoo! ..." I guess i could pretend i did not see the notice but maybe there is some worldwide forecast service that would allow me to use the data? thanks enrike _______________________________________________ Pd-list@iem.at <mailto:Pd-list@iem.at> mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
