alarm_podcast.py is a script that helps me not to spend too much time during the morning checking usual things.

The script basically do 3 things:

1.- Connects to Yahoo weather to parse the current weather conditions and the forecast.

2.- All that information is sent to festival, who is doing the text to speech conversion and output to the

speakers.

3.- Finally the scripts download the national spanish television for a 2 minutes news video,

trying to bypass some obfuscation.

Then the video is played with the realtime weather information, an icon showing the

weather and also the time.

A cron job is in charge of running it daily from Mon to Fri. Using a bash script that is doing something like:

#!/bin/bash

pushd .

cd /home/user/weather

lets clean the house first

find .flv .png -type f -mtime +3 -exec rm {} \;

python alarm_podcast.py

popd .
