==============
PyWMCurrencies
==============
WindowMaker dockapp for getting average exchange rates for Polish Złoty using
NBP official data using their API.
Requirements
============
* Python
* wmdocklib
* requests
Note, that you'll need to install `this wmdocklib`_ instead of original
`pywmdockapps`_, since the latter works only with Python2.
Installation
============
For now, use virtualenv:
.. code:: shell-session
$ python -m virtualenv venv
$ . venv/bin/activate
(venv) $ pip install .
Usage
=====
You'll need to prepare yaml file with the configuration. And put it in
``~/.config/pywmcurrencies.yaml`` (or whatever your XDG_CONFIG_HOME points to).
For example:
.. code:: yaml
---
currencies:
- eur
- usd
Here we have two currencies (alpha codes for currencies as in `ISO 4217`_
standard), which will be monitored. Note, that currencies are fetched at the
app start, and than every hour, just to not hammer the NBP servers.
