Though pasting the contents of each file into their own script windows should work too. I personally run each script individually in their own script boxes through the code: Below I will go through some of the changes that need to be made. Included in this zip is all the scripts, the images that I used ( Weather icons are FlatWhite, from ), and my current cached weather. Unless you use something else, in which case ignore this.

You will need to install this as root in terminal (or other ways if you know what you are doing. I have limited bandwidth, sometimes caps on usage, every little bit helps. This is to minimize the number of times I'm having to hit external servers, and pull data. The other files then, if needed, pull from these cached XML files to extract the information they need. It also calculates the lunar cycle, and copies that image. It then checks these files to copy the correct weather conditions image, and if needed, an alert image to the temp images. The way mine works is a single main file, master.py, downloads the the XML feeds from Yahoo and Environment Canada and saves them. The alert part only works for Canadians, as it uses Environment Canada's RSS to grab the alerts (not surprising, they don't care about other countries :p )

The main part of the weather code uses Yahoo's XML feed, and as such should work for everyone.

There was some interest when I posted my desktop, so I figure I'll post the code for anyone to be able to take advantage of. I wrote what is mostly my own weather code for geektool, cause I wasn't satisfied with any of the existing ones.
