You are using an outdated version of pywapi, please upgrade: https://launchpad.net/python-weather-api

I have now added a check for this, so in the future it will display an error message and refuse to start.

[Christoph Buchner (bilderbuchi)]

I'm experiencing the same bug.
If there is such a strong dependency on pywapi, why isn't it a) packaged in the PPA, too and b) not marked as such in the dependencies of indicator-weather? apt-cache showpkg shows a minimum version of python-pywapi 0.3.2, which is fulfilled.

apt-cache policy python-pywapi

that was actually erroneous info, it's

[Christoph Buchner (bilderbuchi)]

Manually upgrading pywapi to 0.3.3~svn147-1 apparently resolves this, but leads to bug #1189916 for me.

[Darrell Collins (darrellw-collins)]

Hi Joshua!
  I am not sure how to keep up with the latest version other than adding the PPA for pywapi, and I had to add that PPA to get it to work at all. So I have the latest version in the PPA 0.3.3.1-0ubuntu0ppa1, what version do I need?

[Joshua Tasker (jtasker)]

Darrell, what is the output of running the following commands in a terminal?

sudo updatedb
locate pywapi.py

[Darrell Collins (darrellw-collins)]

Here is the output from that command:

/home/buford/.local/share/Trash/expunged/2614296134/build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.7/pywapi.py
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pywapi.py
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pywapi.pyc
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pywapi.py
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pywapi.pyc
/usr/share/pyshared/pywapi.py

I am not sure what the Trash line refers to, in the file manager, the "trash" is empty.

This was working for some time, I do not know what would have changed. I did change one of the locations recently from Hartfield to Enfield.

[Darrell Collins (darrellw-collins)]

Hi Joshua!
  I used Synaptic to completely remove both packages.
  Then I used locate and removed all copies of pywapi.py
  Then I installed pywapi
  Then I installed indicator-weather
  Then I hit the JSON bug #1189916 just like Christoph.

  Which the fix was to run the script for the update to the formats.

Thanks for all the work!
