Hi everyone, I'm working on a portal-like site and I'd like to display the current weather conditions on the main page. There are hundreds of stations in the U.S. (don't know about the rest of the world) that have the current weather as part of the METAR system of the National Weather Service. The reports can be retrieved from http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/metar.shtml or by anonymous ftp at ftp://weather.noaa.gov/data/observations/metar In either case you need to know the 4-letter ICAO code for your location. Can anyone recommend a strategy for this task? Some external method that goes out and grabs the latest weather codes perhaps? ZClient? I would really appreciate a suggestion. I'm still a Zope and Python newbie, and I figure this would be a good problem to work on. Thanks. -Tim -- Timothy Wilson | "The faster you | Check out: Henry Sibley H.S. | go, the shorter | http://slashdot.org/ W.
