Weather-tk is an app written in Python that shows the current weather. Weather data is fetched using the Openweathermap API.
This project is a learning experience for me. Everything in this repo is licensed under the MIT license.
The look of the UI may vary depending on your OS.
- Python 3 (duh)
- Python modules:
- tkinter, used for GUI
- urllib.{request, parse, error}, to process http requests
- json, to parse weather data
- io, to pass downloaded icons to pillow
- pillow, used for icon support (the only one that needs to be manually installed using
pip) - datetime, to show times
- An openweathermap API key, used to get weather data
More dependencies may be required as the proeject goes on.
- You will need an API key from openweathermap, you can get one for free in their website by creating an account.
- Copy and paste your API key in a file named
api_key.txtand place it in the same directory asweather-tk.py. - Then simply run
python weather-tk.py.
Add multithreading so that the UI doesn't freeze when getting data from the API(done)Add weather icons(done)Add daily forecast for 7 days(done)- Add hourly forecast for 24 hours
Add searched location history(done)- Probably change how icons are cached
- Maybe add theme support
