Py3status: weather via wttr.in

[CorruptCommit]

I recently configured py3status to get the current weather via chubin/wttr.in with something like the following:

getjson wttr {
    url = "https://wttr.in/Paris?format=j1"
    format = "{current_condition-0-FeelsLikeC}° {current_condition-0-weatherDesc-0-value}"
    cache_timeout = 3600
}

result: 6° Partly cloudy

Note, wttr.in has a lower barrier of entry than the weather_owm module as an API key is not required.

I am curious if this example should get added to the getjson documentation or if it makes more sense to build out a module.

Hey @CorruptCommit thanks for sharing this!

I guess an example would be smart + maybe a mention of this on the weather_owm module itself too?

While I think those ideas would work just fine, I do have another idea.

What about having an issue (or maybe use the Wiki) as a place for community json configurations? This might encourage people to share and inspire others to make proper module. Although, this might be overkill.

I actually like the idea @CorruptCommit and I'd rather have it as a section in the official documentation that is accessible on readthedocs

Something like: "user contributed configuration examples"?

Glad to hear you like the idea.

When I pitched the idea of having this outside of the official documentation, I was thinking about barrier to entry for users, time and effort of approving Pull requests, and clear separation about what is 'officially' supported. That being said, I can see the benefits of including it within the official documentation. My concerns might not be that big of deal and/or could be addressed in other ways. I don't feel too strongly either way, do what you think is best for your project.

Something like: "user contributed configuration examples"?

Sounds good to me.

I've been a good citizen and shared some of my magic config :p
