Welcome to the cli-weather wiki! This is a log of the development progress of the project.

25/07/2020

When I started using cli-based OS during my labs for the first time, was always curious on knowing to build my own commands like 'ls'. This side-project is one such instance where I am learning argparse, PyPI, creating own Docker Image and many more.

I made use of free-version of WeatherBIT API which serves one port at time, but gives lots of feature-studded responses, actually more than what I needed.

This project is still in early phases, as I have just decided its architecture using subparsers. Will add more features in coming days.

26/07/2020

• Introduced subparsers and main, feature-based separate scripts just to make sure it becomes easier to scale-up later on.
• Added -u,--units option to get results on various different unit styles.
• Also added -d,--detailed option to get detailed (almost everything required) for daily weather precautions and informations. From solar- radiation to UV exposure.

27/08/20

• Introduced new sub-command named postalcode, which helps to get weather data similar to that of city subparser but based on given postalcode.
• Added 'snowfall' data under --detailed optional argument section.
• Introduced RawTextHelpFormatter in help section for better alignment of help message.

28/08/20

• Rigorous local testing with testpypi.org. All builds failed. Had issues with long_description tag in PyPI setup.py file.
• 2 build failed versions in pypi.org namely v0.1.0 and v0.1.1 under 3 alpha test release.

29/08/20

• Working v0.1.2 3 alpha test release in pypi.org
• Finally compatible with py2 and py3. Had issues in modular imports earlier when tested with py3 installed docker container.
• Updated readme.md both in pypi.org and github.com
