Introducing Our Initial Python Package: ECES EG Weather
We’re pleased to share a modest milestone from the ECES Data Analytics Unit—the launch of our initial Python package: eces-eg-weather-package. This project, led by Ahmed Dawoud, represents a small yet significant step towards enhancing our data analytics capabilities.
What is the ECES EG Weather Package?
The eces-eg-weather-package is a straightforward, Python-based tool designed to fetch weather forecast data for any city. Utilizing the OpenWeatherMap API, it offers users an easy way to access temperature and wind speed predictions for the next five days.
Key Features
- Simple installation and setup process.
- User-friendly interface.
- Utilizes OpenWeatherMap API for reliable data.
- Offers temperature and wind forecasts for a five-day period.
- Returns data in a convenient pandas DataFrame format.
Installation
To get started with the eces-eg-weather-package, installation is straightforward via pip:
bash
pip install eces-eg-weather-package
How to Use
After installation, the package can be used as follows:
from eces_eg_weather import Weather # Initialize with your API key and the city of your choice weather = Weather(apikey='YOUR_API_KEY', city='Cairo') # Retrieve temperature forecast for the next 5 days temp_forecast = weather.temp_next_5_days() # Retrieve wind speed forecast for the next 5 days wind_forecast = weather.wind_next_5_days()
Behind the Scenes
Ahmed Dawoud spearheaded the development, supported by the collaborative efforts of the ECES Data Analytics Unit. This tool is a testament to our team’s commitment to practical, effective solutions.
Looking to the Future
This package is just a starting point. Our goal is to continue developing tools that aid in data analysis and address real-world challenges. We’re excited about the future and the potential to contribute more to the open-source community.
