wolframalpha
============

Python Client built against the `Wolfram|Alpha <http://wolframalpha.com>`_
v2.0 API. This project is hosted on `Github
<https://github.com/jaraco/wolframalpha>`_.

Usage
=====

Basic usage is pretty simple. Create the client with your App ID (request from
Wolfram Alpha)::

    import wolframalpha
    client = wolframalpha.Client(app_id)

Then, you can send queries, which return Result objects::

    res = client.query('temperature in Washington, DC on October 3, 2012')

Result objects have `pods` (a Pod is an answer group from Wolfram Alpha)::

    for pod in res.pods:
        do_something_with(pod)

Pod objects have `subpods` (a Subpod is a specific response with the plaintext
reply and some additional info)::

    for pod in res.pods:
        for sub in pod.subpod:
            print(sub.text)

You may also query for simply the pods which have 'Result' titles or are
marked as 'primary' using ``Result.results``::

    print(next(res.results).text)
