The indentation of the line in get_city_id() which asks for the closest city changes from listing to listing.

Hi i've recentyle discovered the tutorial :
https://projects.raspberrypi.org/en/projects/dress-for-the-weather/4

But i've some trouble with the api key. Maybe they've restricted the usage :
pyowm.exceptions.api_response_error.UnauthorizedError: Your API subscription level does not allow to perform this operation

There is an issue with Getting the date in locale: en. Error: (): could not find expected ':' while scanning a simple key at line 4 column 1

Hi Mark, Tried this last night and line 4 produces an error as the ' is picked up between you and re and program treats this as the end of the string.

def get_city_id():
with open('city.list.json') as f:
data = [loads(line) for line in f]
city = input('Which is the closest city to the place you're travelling to?' )
city_id = False

Cities from the JSON are loaded into a variable called cities, but this is then referred to as f on two occasions.

/learning was expecting a file or directory at en/solutions

When selecting an hour that results in a single digit hour I get the message:
File "weather.py", line 48, in get_readable_forecast
weather['cloudiness'] = forecast['clouds']['all']
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable

I can fix this by padding - str(hour).rjust(2,'0')

I presume this will need to be done for the day also.

1. pprint(forecast) is returning none
2. File "weather.py", line 48, in get_readable_forecast
   weather['cloudiness'] = forecast['clouds']['all']
   TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable

please help

Hey, I'm having difficulty with this tutorial and I suspect that the possible reason is that the format of the 'city.list.json' may have changed. Iv'e opened the 'city.list.json' file on my PC and it seems that it is formatted in some sort of an array, but i'm not experienced enough to do any re-formatting or conversion with it.
After running the weather.py file and entering the following into the shell:-

cities = open('city.list.json').readlines()
cities[0]

I get the following result:-

'[\n'

And if i enter:-

cities[1]

I get the following result:-

' {\n'

And if i enter:-

cities[2]

I get the following result:-

' "id": 707860, \n"

After doing all that and then entering:-

city = loads(cities[56325])

Well it just totally spits out the dummy then!
PLS see the attached image for a screenshot.
Thanks,

There is an issue with Getting the city or town in locale: en. Error: (): could not find expected ':' while scanning a simple key at line 4 column 1

When I ran the following code:

def get_weather_data(city_id):
    weather_data = get('http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast?id={}&APPID={}'.format(city_id, KEY))
    return weather_data.json()

I received a TypeError: 'dict' object not callable. I removed the parens after json and it worked. Looks like one accesses the data returned by the get function through properties not functions?

Feedback form a user to say they struggled with one of the commands and wondered if the project is out of date.

Hi there, I'm not certain that the command:
forecast = owm.daily_forecast(location + ',' + COUNTRY)
...still works with OpenWeatherMaps, I've only had success when using the following:
url = "https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/onecall?lat=%s&lon=%s&appid=%s&units=metric" % (lat, lon, api_key)

It would be useful to see any dates when the article was written, so for instance, if it's a recent article then I'm probably wrong, but if the article was from 2017/18/19 then perhaps the tutorial needs to be reviewed.

A couple of users noted that the API daily_forecast call no longer a free API

Step 7: The text says 'the ID 5091002 is different to the ID 2640354 you found earlier!' - but I don't think we did find anything about Peterborough or this ID earlier - would it be better for step 6 to refer to Peterborough rather than Hurzuf in Ukraine?
