python yahoo weather xml parse works with 2.7.1 but not 2.6.1 - 


#!/usr/bin/env python  import subprocess import urllib xml.dom import minidom  city_id = '23396898' temp_type = 'c'  weather_url = 'http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/forecastrss?w=' + city_id +' &u=' + temp_type weather_ns = 'http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/ns/rss/1.0'  dom = minidom.parse(urllib.urlopen(weather_url)) ycondition = dom.getelementsbytagnamens(weather_ns, 'condition')[0] current_outdoor_temp = ycondition.getattribute('temp') print(current_outdoor_temp)

this works fine when run on machine running python 2.7.1 not on machine running 2.6.1. problem actual number wrong. have verified i'm pulling elements correctly , can other numeric values without issue. run on 2.7.1 , 12 current celsius temp run in 2.6.1 , 54.

what has me more confused works fine fahrenheit in both environments. if put f temp_type work fine. i've confirmed happens on multiple machines. identical deployments issue other 2.6.1. can give me ideas why i'm getting issue?

running on mac os x in both instances.

edit: problem urllib.urlopen() not working correctly in 2.6 not sure why.

edit:

i've run elementtree same results. appears may specific environment why convert fahrenheit. odd.

import urllib xml.etree.elementtree import parse  city_id = '23396898' temp_type = 'c'  weather_url = 'http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/forecastrss?w=' + city_id +' &u=' + temp_type weather_ns = 'http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/ns/rss/1.0'  rss = parse(urllib.urlopen(weather_url)).getroot() ycondition = rss.find('channel/item/{%s}condition' % weather_ns) print ycondition.get('temp')

if go directly url can see information directly.

http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/forecastrss?w=2496543&u=f http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/forecastrss?w=2496543&u=c

ok help. had space in url , causing problems. 

weather_url = 'http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/forecastrss?w=' + city_id +' &u=' + temp_type

should be

weather_url = 'http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/forecastrss?w=' + city_id +'&u=' + temp_type

thanks @ronak led me in right direcion

Why does Ruby on Rails generate add a blank line to the end of a file? -

running rails generate controller foo home results in: class foocontroller < application controller def home end end (there's nothing on line in actual file, blank line) is there purpose blank line? it's common use newline indicate end of line, last line. many editors (like vi, use) add in newline silently. consensus text files (especially in unix world) should end in newline, , there have been problems historically if wasn't present. why should text files end newline? the tool used count lines in file "wc" counts newlines in file, without trailing newline show 3 instead of 4. it improves readability of templates used in generator. consider: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/railties/lib/rails/generators/rails/controller/templates/controller.rb to remove trailing newline, template have last line of: end<% end -%> instead of: end <% end -%> that seems less readable me. the discussion below refers ...
