sopel-weather is a weather lookup plugin for Sopel.
Since Yahoo deprecated their weather API on January 3, 2019, a reimplementation of the weather plugin was necessary
If possible, use pip to install this plugin. Below are example commands; you
might need to add sudo and/or call a different pip (e.g. pip3) depending
on your system and environment. Do not use setup.py install; Sopel won't be
able to load the plugin correctly.
pip install sopel-modules.weather
Clone the repo, then run this in /path/to/sopel-weather
pip install .
You can automatically configure this plugin using the sopel configure --plugins command.
However, if you want or need to configure this plugin manually, you will need to define the following in ~/.sopel/default.cfg
[weather] geocoords_provider = GEOCOORDS_PROVIDER geocoords_api_key = GEOCOORDS_API_KEY weather_provider = WEATHER_PROVIDER weather_api_key = WEATHER_API_KEY

Modern weather APIs require Latitude & Longitude as inputs to their APIs, so we need to leverage a GeoCoords API to convert location searches to coordinates.
