* Release 1.3. * FAQ: Update to clarify that specifying an id won't automatically provide a city and st to get the accompanying forecast. * weather: Provided a consistent means for relocating weather.py to a private location; thanks to Mark Tran for pointing out a conflict with pyweather in ArchLinux (and presumably other distros as well). * weather.py: Upped the version to 1.3.

5. Why do I get the wrong forecast when specifying -i or --id?
|
||||
|
||||
The -i or --id switch (or the id parameter in an alias definition),
|
||||
only tells weather(1) what current conditions to retrieve. If you
|
||||
specify -f or --forecast on the command line (or forecast=True in
|
||||
an alias) without providing a city name and state abbreviation
|
||||
(-c/--city and -s/--st, or city and st in an alias), you will
|
||||
instead see the forecast for the built-in default location (or the
|
||||
city and st defined in the default alias, if you have one). See
|
||||
question 3 above for information on figuring out what city name and
|
||||
state abbreviation to use, and the manual for weatherrc(5) for
|
||||
information on defining aliases.
