XML Decoding of Weather Underground Forecast feed?

[bschollnick2]

Anyone seen any good code in Python for the Weather Underground Forecast feed.

I have it partially working with ElementTree (etree), but I am running into issues due to duplicate XML tags...

I dunno about XML, but when I wrote a bash script to parse their data, i just grabbed their comma delimited flat files...

Can you send me any information you have on that? I can use that for the forecast information.... But continue to use the XML for the rest...

I don't believe we have any problems with duplicate elements using minidom parsing the config files - perhaps you should switch. It's really not that hard once you get the hang of it.

I think it's more of an issue of how I am remapping the XML into a dictionary... But some of that code is derived from the pywapi code... So I am not going to refactor it much, since I don't want to break NOAA, Yahoo, and Google Weather decoding...

I have it working now, so sometime within the next day or two, I'll be releasing the next beta....
