Known Issues

A few known issues are present in PyWeather. These issues are here, as they're known. Duh!

Some of these known issues are intentional, or can't be fixed (API issue, etc.)

PyWeather options not being selectable by words

Affects PyWeather 0.2 beta and above

I can't get elifs for about 20 possible word combos. As such, I'm unsupporting this feature in 0.6 beta.

Newer options can't be selected by word combinations. From PyWeather 0.6 and on, you will only be able to select options with numbers. It's more efficient, anyways.

PyWeather being unable to fetch API data on some platforms, or randomly

Affects PyWeather 0.2 beta - PyWeather 0.5.1 beta

urllib.request.urlopen is quirky, at best. It does work, sometimes, but it doesn't on some platforms.

When PyWeather 0.5.2 beta was released, I ended up switching to the requests library. This does drastically improve reliability when fetching API data. On some Python setups, you might need to manually install the requests library.

Some PIP libraries not being able to install during setup

Affects PyWeather 0.2 beta - PyWeather 0.5.1 beta

When doing normal PIP installs, some libraries tend to fail to install on some platforms.

This was solved by adding a fallback method to installing with sudo. 90% of the time, these installer errors are caused by bad permissions.
