do something similar but it was specifically to suit the udp
server in xastir. It's not pretty but it's worked for ten years.

<div>Mine uses the JSON feed, which is fairly easy to parse
(with only a little bit of oddness), and will probably break
under Python 3 also. Looks like it should be fairly simple to
make it compatible with a few strategically placed
.encode('ascii') statements however...</div>

<div>Hey all,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Currently sitting in Canberra away from home for a
couple of months, I've started to go through some of my
old code, and I found this program I built to send BOM
weather data to the APRS network while visiting VK2DGJ
back in around 2002. The code is pretty simple, it grabbed
the text weather data from the BOM, filtered it and
generated an aprs-is packet. It looks like from the state
of the code that I may have packaged this up in the past
(callsign commented out), so it may exist elsewhere? Maybe
even on this list or a previous incarnation?<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I seem to remember that this was before many objects
like this were routinely posted to the network like there
is now.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I know there are many other ways of doing this job
currently in existence, so this code is only really there
for prosperity, but if there is a need to make this work
in the modern world give it a go, or I can look into it.
It would be run from a cron job at a regular interval.<br>
