Project description
Documentation Note:
I am in the process of moving documentation to http://weatheralerts.readthedocs.org/ and of course expanding it. The docs are now part of this git repo and can be found in /docs so feel free to contribute there if you want to add something.

About
This python module started as part of another project of mine. But since this is more useful as a standalone module, I’ve decided to move it to it’s own project and open source it. As this is a alpha/beta release aspects of the project will change, and probably pretty often. Check back here for updates, if you install using pip, you can run pip install -U weatheralerts to get the latest version.
Since this project gets it’s data from the National Weather Service XML/CAP feed, it’s free and straight from the source. Other modules I’ve seen (or written) get data from 3rd parties that require an API key which in many cases requires a subscription or imposes restrictions on use.
This code is provided under GPLv3 (see LICENSE.txt). If you do make improvements, please contribute back to this project. I certainly welcome new features, improvments and of course bug fixes. You can submit a git pull request or email me: zeb@zebpalmer.com
This project lives at github.com/zebpalmer/WeatherAlerts For current documentation, visit the online docs at http://weatheralerts.readthedocs.org/
Install
You can download and install via PIP by runing: pip install -U weatheralerts
Python 2 Support
Development of this program is done in Python 3. However the installer supports python 2 and with each major/minor release I’ll backport changes to the python2 code base. I’m currently building and testing for Python 2.6, 2.7 and 3.2. Essentially, it should work on anything 2.6 or newer.
This program is maintained by Zeb Palmer, a Linux Systems Engineer and Professional Photographer who writes a bit of python at work and play. Circle me on Google Plus `zebpalmer.com/+ <http://zebpalmer.com/+>`_ and see my other work at `ZebPalmer.com <http://www.zebpalmer.com>`_
