Add weather.com support

[johnuopini]

You can search for a city using (format is City, Region Code, Country Code):
http://wxdata.weather.com/wxdata/search/search?where=New%20York,NY,USA

And then get the weather from (unit is the unit c/f and dayf is the days):
http://wxdata.weather.com/wxdata/weather/local/USNY0996?unit=f&dayf=10&cc=*

Data is XML and quite easy to read. This is the same weather used by Google so it would be great to have it.

Where can i fidn some docs?...It seems to me that Weather.com and Weatherunderground have common api (http://www.weather.com/services/).

[johnuopini]

Didnt find any but the XML is very readable and also you can find an implementation here:
https://code.google.com/p/python-weather-api/source/browse/trunk/pywapi.py

You can add language by adding "&locale=it" for italian for example, everything else should be easy.
BTW pywapi also supports NOAA which would be a great thing to have

@frmz you can try i'd be happy to integrate another weather provider.
If you need any help let me know.

@survivingwithandroid only issue i see is that i am not able to find a list of weather.com icon codes

[survivingwithandroid]

@frmz you can avoid by now implement it. You can simply create a empty class

[frmz]

@survivingwithandroid yeah i know, problem is that i need it in my app :)

[frmz]

@survivingwithandroid found something!

[frmz]

P.S. The DAY / NIGHT / HOT / COLD weather codes do not really make any sense, those should be removed

@RoundSparrow are u interested on supporting Weather.com in the Weatherlib?

[RoundSparrow]

Yes, I think a great purpose for this library is to allow other apps to switch providers easily. So more providers the better. I think the demo app should also have a settings to pick provider... I notice it doesn't show this off.

[survivingwithandroid]

@RoundSparrow I think you are right about the capability to change provider at runtime. Regarding of Weather.com support i'm investigating if there is a "standard" support, because it iseems to me that they use Weatherunderground. Look at this link http://www.weather.com/services/ and you will confirm what i'm saying.

[survivingwithandroid]

@RoundSparrow instead of Weather.com do you have in mind other provider we might support?

[RoundSparrow]

I'm no expert on Internet weather - but I can see that one additional provider (and the demo having runtime change) would help a lot of widget apps out there that are all only basically using Yahoo.

In my search for a library, I did locate this January 2012 list of API providers, it seems like a really good starting point: http://www.programmableweb.com/news/26-weather-apis-12-support-json/2012/01/11

Weather.com is the one google uses for their news & weather app, ive been able to map the codes and i just need to create the provider, however since i dont see much activity on this library i am not sure if it makes sense to proceed.
