I'm using the Yahoo! Weather API to retrieve some values. This is the request:
How can I get attributes and values from the following:
<yweather:astronomy sunrise="6:20 am" sunset="4:52 pm"/>
<yweather:condition text="Partly Cloudy" code="29" temp="14" date="Fri, 09 Nov 2012 1:47 am PST"/>
I want to print something like:
Sunrise: 6.20 am
Sunset: 4.52 pm
You can do this using the feedparser library:
import feedparser
feed = feedparser.parse('http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?w=2442047&u=c')
print 'Sunrise:', feed.feed.yweather_astronomy['sunrise']
print 'Sunset:', feed.feed.yweather_astronomy['sunset']
Use feedparser:
import feedparser
feed = feedparser.parse('http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?w=2442047&u=c')
sunrise = feed.items()[0][1]["yweather_astronomy"]["sunrise"]
sunset = feed.items()[0][1]["yweather_astronomy"]["sunset"]
Play with the result of parse to get a feeling for the structure of the parsed feed.
