There is a library called PyOWM, which is a wrapper for the OpenWeatherMap API. The documentation for using the library is at the following link.

To use the library you need to create an account on OpenWeatherMap and look up the APPID in the user's profile. The procedure is explained at this link.

To install the library, run pip:

#pip install pyowm

Below is the code of a script that shows how to use the library:

#!/usr/bin/env python


# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-


import pyowm

#Llave del uso del API


apikey = "abcdefghijklimnopqrstuvxyz"


#Se crea la instancia OWM pasando la llave para el uso del API.


owm = pyowm.OWM(apikey)


#Se obtiene la llave de uso del API


print owm.get_API_key()


#Se define la ciudad por nombre o se pasa la coordenada.


obs = owm.weather_at('Valencia,ve')


#obs = owm.weather_at_coords(-0.107331,51.503614)


print "tiempo: ", obs.get_reception_time()


print "tiempo: ", obs.get_reception_time(timeformat='iso')


#Se Instancia los datos de la estacion meterologica.


w = obs.get_weather()


print "Fecha y hora ",w.get_reference_time(timeformat='iso')


print "Nubes:", w.get_clouds()


print  "lluvias:", w.get_rain()


print "Nieve: ", w.get_snow()


print "viento", w.get_wind()


print "humedad:",w.get_humidity()


print "presion:", w.get_pressure()


print "Temperatura:",w.get_temperature()


print "Temperatura:",w.get_temperature(unit='celsius')


print "Estatus", w.get_status()


print "Hora de salida del sol",w.get_sunrise_time("iso")


print "Hora de ocultarse el sol",w.get_sunset_time('iso')


l = obs.get_location()


print "nombre:", l.get_name()


print "Longitud: %s, Latitud: %s"   %(l.get_lon(),l.get_lat())

print "Identificador", l.get_ID()

Running the application gives the following:
