when 3.2.0

Installation

Install from PyPI:

$ pip install when

or using pipx:

$ pipx install when

or:

$ pipx install git+https://github.com/dakrauth/when.git

Usage

To access city names, you must install the cities database:

when --db

You can specify minimum city size by adding --size SIZE, where SIZE can be one of:

• 15000 - cities with population > 15000 or capitals

• 5000 - cities with population > 5000 or seat of first-order admin division, i.e. US state

• 1000 - cities with population > 1000 or seat of third order admin division

• 500 - cities with population > 500 or seat of fourth-order admin division

Additionally, you can filter non-admin division seats using --pop POP.

The appropriate GeoNames Gazetteer is downloaded and a Sqlite database generated. Once installed, you can search the database:

$ when --db --search New York
5106292, West New York, West New York, US, New Jersey, America/New_York
5128581, New York City, New York City, US, New York, America/New_York

Additionally, you can add aliases. In the example directly above, we see that New York City has a GeoNames ID of 5128581. Pass that to the --alias option along with another name that you would like to use:

$ when --db --alias 5128581 NYC
$ when --source NYC
