weatherdesk's Introduction

WeatherDesk has moved!

Now at GitLab!

WeatherDesk

Change the wallpaper based on the weather and (optionally) the time.

Thanks to Martin Hansen for the original Desktop.py module.

Installation

Just download the repository, get some wallpapers (see the Wallpapers section) and run the WeatherDesk.py script.

NOTE: If you use OS X, see the note for OS X users.

Options

$ python3 WeatherDesk.py --help
usage: WeatherDesk.py [-h] [-d directory] [-f format] [-w seconds]
                      [-t [{2,3,4}]] [-n] [--no-weather] [-c name [name ...]]
                      [-o]

WeatherDesk - Change the wallpaper based on the weather
        (Uses the Yahoo! Weather API)

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -d directory, --dir directory
                        Specify wallpaper directory. Default: ~/.weatherdesk_walls
  -f format, --format format
                        Specify image file format. Default: .jpg
  -w seconds, --wait seconds
                        Specify time (in seconds) to wait before updating. Default: 600
  -t [{2,3,4}], --time [{2,3,4}]
                        Use different backgrounds for different times.

                            Variations:
                              2 = day/night
                              3 = day/evening/night [Default]
                              4 = morning/day/evening/night

                            See --naming.
  -n, --naming          Show the image file-naming rules and exit.
  --no-weather          Disable the weather functionality of the script. Wallpapers will only be changed based on the time of day.With this option, no internet connection is required.
  -c name [name ...], --city name [name ...]
                        Specify city for weather. If not given, taken from ipinfo.io.
  -o, --one-time-run    Run once, then exit.

Wallpapers

You can choose your own custom set, conforming to the naming rules. Either put them in the default ~/.weatherdesk_walls/ directory or specify a directory with the --dir option.

Ready-to-Go wallpaper set

Don't want to go hunting for wallpapers? I recommend this beautiful set (called FireWatch, named after a game) (download the set using the ZIP file link given below) made by redditor JuniorNeves.

A zip download of the FireWatch set, named according to the rules: ZIP download. Just extract it into ~/.weatherdesk_walls (or into any directory and pass its path with --dir)

Naming of Pictures

$ python3 WeatherDesk.py --naming
This is how to name files in the wallpaper directory:


       WEATHER           |    FILENAME
_________________________|________________
 Clear, Calm, Fair:      | normal.jpg
 Thunderstorm:           | thunder.jpg
 Windy, Breeze, Gale:    | wind.jpg
 Drizzle, Rain, Showers: | rain.jpg
 Snow:                   | snow.jpg
 Cloudy:                 | cloudy.jpg
 Other:                  | normal.jpg

 If using with --time or --time 3, add:
 "day-", "night-" or "evening-" in front of filename.

 If using with --time 4, add:
 "morning-", "day-", "evening-" or "night-"

 If using with --time 2, add:
 "day-" or "night-"

 If you use --no-weather, the files have to be named simply after the time of day depending of your time schema.
 E.g.: "day.jpg", "night.jpg"

Default wallpapers library

I think you should add default wallpapers library so it is easier to try the software - run it and it works.
Now I see that I have to find wallpapers, rename them and then try it.

Applescript doesn't like single quotes

Minor fix for OS X errors, replacing single quotes with double quotes, and removing "to":

Desktop.py, lines 270-274:

                OSX_SCRIPT = '''tell application "Finder"
set desktop picture to POSIX file "%s"
end tell
                ''' % image

Error on Linux Xfce4

I got an error while using your script in my Xfce4 desktop environment. See below:

[Main loop] 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "WeatherDesk.py", line 419, in <module>
    main()
  File "WeatherDesk.py", line 406, in main
    os.path.join(walls_dir, get_file_name(weather, time=use_time)))
  File "/home/xek6ae/WeatherDesk/Desktop.py", line 203, in set_wallpaper
    for i in list_of_properties.subprocesslit('\n'):
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'subprocesslist'

I change the line 203 of Dektop.py for i in list_of_properties.split('\n'): an then the script works fine for me.

os.path.absubprocessath call

Hi.

In Desktop.py there are 3 instances of a weird "os.path.absubprocessath" call.
I guess it should be os.path.abspath and some search/replace has been a bit zealous.

I dont know how.

Hello my name is jakub Veselovský. can somebody help how to install this? (Windows)

Avoid naked exceptions

See: https://realpython.com/blog/python/the-most-diabolical-python-antipattern/

Also, the code fails numerous PEP-8 tests.

OS X Mavericks: Syntax error

Problem

% cat ~/.weatherdesk_script.AppleScript
tell application 'Finder'
set desktop picture to POSIX file "/Users/sli/Pictures/FireWatch-WeatherDesk-Pack-master/normal.jpg"
end tell

% osascript ~/.weatherdesk_script.AppleScript
17:18: syntax error: Expected expression, property or key form, etc. but found unknown token. (-2741)

Solution

Replace ' with "

% cat ~/.weatherdesk_script.AppleScript | sed s/\'/\"/g                   
tell application "Finder"
set desktop picture to POSIX file "/Users/sli/Pictures/FireWatch-WeatherDesk-Pack-master/normal.jpg"
end tell

% cat ~/.weatherdesk_script.AppleScript | sed s/\'/\"/g | osascript
% echo $?
0

Windows Support

The readme says that it supports windows, but it seems that it is not updating the wall paper, (windows 10) looking at the Desktop.py it seems as if its looking for some .bat file after it runs the rundll3d.exe line but that .bat file doesn't exist.

Gives error on invalid city (SSL error?)

I've just downloaded this repository to give it a test run.
But when executing the WeatherDesk.py script, I get the following error:

I'm not a python dev so I'm not able to figure out what's wrong here.
Any help is welcome!

how to uninstall?

Can we give own specified wallpapers ?

We can give own specified wallpapers or we can make the arrangements to have some cool urls to have them once connected to internet to download on the local storage and use it.

Use /dev/shm/somedir or /tmp/somefile for KDE >4

As you may be aware, directly setting a custom wallpaper for KDE isn't really possible at the moment because the api is not exposed for security reasons.

However this can mitigated by asking the user to point kde's desktop slideshow at a designated folder with a smallish timeout (say, 4 seconds). The trick I have found is to have exactly one file with a randomized filename in a folder. On each wallpaper change, generate a new random name and move the new file in with it, and then delete the old file. It will work most of the time because collisions are very rare.

Example here, line 164-173 at https://github.com/cmdrkotori/qt314wall/blob/master/main.cpp#L164

OS X change wallpaper on all desktops

On OS X, running this will only change the wallpaper on the active desktop. Would be awesome to see it change the wallpaper on all desktops.

Not working after suspend/resume

After I suspend and resume my laptop, WeatherDesk stops working. I get the following error on the first run after resume:

I'm running Python 3.5.1 on Arch Linux.

TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable

To put it in simple terms it crashes.

In more detail, first it didn't have a needed dependency for the file psutil, that I solved by running sudo apt install python3-psutil.

But now it crashes with the following:
