Contributors Welcomed!

This package was originally created as a contribution to the main ChatterBot package. It was converted to a optional module in order to preserve the code quality of the main project. This weather adapter for ChatterBot works, but could benefit from improvements in several areas.

  • Improved documentation with descriptions and information about the functions and structure of the adapter
  • Additional support for other weather APIs
  • Support for a wider range of questions about the weather (current, future, specific dates, etc.)

Get Started!

Ready to contribute? Here’s how to set up chatterbot-weather for local development.

  1. Fork the chatterbot-weather repo on GitHub.

  2. Clone your fork locally:

    $ git clone git@github.com:your_name_here/chatterbot-weather.git
    
  3. Install your local copy into a virtualenv. Assuming you have virtualenvwrapper installed, this is how you set up your fork for local development:

    $ mkvirtualenv chatterbot-weather
    $ cd chatterbot-weather/
    $ python setup.py develop
    
  4. Create a branch for local development:

    $ git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
    

    Now you can make your changes locally.

  5. When you’re done making changes, check that your changes pass flake8 and the tests, including testing other Python versions with tox:

    $ flake8 chatterbot-weather tests
    $ python setup.py test
    $ tox
    

    To get flake8 and tox, just pip install them into your virtualenv.

  6. Commit your changes and push your branch to GitHub:

    $ git add .
    $ git commit -m "Your detailed description of your changes."
    $ git push origin name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
    
  7. Submit a pull request through the GitHub website.

Pull Request Guidelines

Before you submit a pull request, check that it meets these guidelines:

  1. The pull request should include tests.
  2. If the pull request adds functionality, the docs should be updated. Put your new functionality into a function with a docstring, and add the feature to the list in README.rst.
  3. The pull request should work for Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5, and for PyPy. Check https://travis-ci.org/gunthercox/chatterbot-weather/pull_requests and make sure that the tests pass for all supported Python versions.

Tips

To run a subset of tests:

$ python -m unittest tests.test_chatterbot-weather
