Ok ignore the last patch I sent. I did not like the idea of having to
use a cron job to schedule the updates. Cron seems to cause a lot of
people confusion. I tweaked the helper to use the time.sleep function
to wait between updates. To enable the plug ad the following to the
local_conf:
plugin.activate('helpers.weather')
WEATHER_UPDATE_INTERVAL = 20
The interval number is in minutes.
