Upload weather data to PWS Weather.

PWS Weather is a site run by AerisWeather that “brings together personal weather station data worldwide from locales not served by primary weather services.”

• Create account: http://www.pwsweather.com/register.php

• API based on WU protocol: http://wiki.wunderground.com/index.php/PWS_-_Upload_Protocol

• Additional dependency: http://docs.python-requests.org/

• Example weather.ini configuration:

  [pwsweather]
  station = ABCDEFGH1
  password = xxxxxxx
  
  [logged]
  services = ['pwsweather', 'underground']

session()

Context manager factory function for a batch of one or more uploads.

This makes it easy to ensure any resources such as an internet connection are properly closed after a batch of uploads. Use the contextlib.contextmanager() decorator when you implement this method.

For a typical example, see the source code of the pywws.service.openweathermap module. If your upload can’t benefit from a session object yield None, as in pywws.service.copy.

upload_data(session, prepared_data={})

Upload one data set to the service.

Every data service class must implement this method.

Parameters:

• session (object) – the object created by session(). This is typically used to communicate with the server and is automatically closed when a batch of uploads has finished.
• prepared_data (dict) – a set of key: value pairs to upload. The keys and values must all be text strings.
