pydavis
A package intended the logging of weather data parameters monitored by Davis weather stations. The parameters are obtained through the reports generated at Davis WeatherLink websites, and can be streamed to a MySQL database or a specified file.
Installation
The package can be installed with pip
pip install pydavis
Usage
Through the data_logging.py
module, the weather parameters are
streamed from WeatherLink websites:
>>> from data_logging import DataLogger
By instantiating the DataLogger
with an URL, the logging sequence can then
be initiated and data stored according to specified format. Any logging
sequence is aborted with CTRL + C
.
Storing data in a MySQL database
>>> logger = DataLogger(url)
>>> logger.initiate_logging(to_table=True,
user='user',
password='password',
database='pydavis',
table='weather_data')
The necessary arguments are MySQL login credentials, the name of the database
and the table. The logger
will create the database and the table if
necessary.
Storing data in a file
>>> logger = DataLogger(url)
>>> logger.initiate_logging(to_file=True,
path_to_file='./weather_data.csv')
The location including the name of the file must be passed as argument.
The logger
will create a new file if necessary.
