|
|
============
|
|
|
|
Python Client built against the `Wolfram|Alpha <http://wolframalpha.com>`_
|
|
v2.0 API. This project is hosted on `bitbucket
|
|
<https://github.com/jaraco/wolframalpha>`_.
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
This library is released to PyPI, so the easiest way to install it is to use
|
|
easy_install::
|
|
|
|
easy_install wolframalpha
|
|
|
|
or pip::
|
|
|
|
pip install wolframalpha
|
|
|
|
If you don't have these tools or you prefer not to use setuptools, you may
|
|
also simply extract the 'wolframalpha' directory an appropriate location in
|
|
your Python path.
|
|
|
|
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` attribute (a Pod is an answer from Wolfram Alpha)::
|
|
|
|
for pod in res.pods:
|
|
do_something_with(pod)
|
|
|
|
You may also query for simply the pods which have 'Result' titles::
|
|
|
|
print(next(res.results).text)
|
