Python Client built against the Wolfram|Alpha v2.0 API.
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.subpods:
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)
All objects returned are dictionary subclasses, so to find out which attributes
Wolfram|Alpha has supplied, simply invoke .keys() on the object.
Attributes formed from XML attributes can be accessed with or without their
"@" prefix (added by xmltodict).
