How to print weather information to the console in python

I'm currently creating a text based console program in python and I want to add a command to display the current weather using a zip code. I have tried googling it extensively and can't seem to find anything good. The solutions that would work for what I'm trying to do are all using technology I'm not familiar with that are used to make actual apps with python. There is currently no UI and I'm a beginner in python so the more readable and easily understandable the solution the better.

There are 2 main ways to do this.
The first one is to webscrape, using requests and beautifulsoup4. This can most easily be done from google, since if you search "weather {city-name}" it gives you a summary of the weather there.
The second is to use an api such as openweathermap, for which there is a great geeksforgeeks tutorial on:

Password - Login not working Python

I just finished Coursera's Python for Everybody 1st course.
To practice my skills, I decided to make a password and username login. Whenever I create a username, I get my user set error which says 'Invalid credentials'. Here is my code.
import time
import datetime
print ('storingData')
print("Current date and time: ", datetime.datetime.now())
while True:
usernames = ['Admin']
passwords = ['Admin']
username = input ('Please enter your username, to create one, type in create: ')
if username == 'create':
newname = input('Enter your chosen username: ')
usernames.append(newname)
newpassword = input('Please the password you would like to use: ' )
passwords.append(newpassword)
print ('Temporary account created')
continue
elif username in usernames :
dataNum = usernames.index (username)
cpasscode = passwords[dataNum]
else:
print ('Wrong credentials, please try again')
continue
password = input ('Please enter your password: ')
if password == cpasscode:
print ('Welcome ', username)
The code as it appears in my editor

In your code, you have initialized your usernames array right after the while statement. This means that every time it loops back to the beginning, it re-initializes, losing anything that your previously appended. If you move the array initialization outside of the loop, it should work as expected.

This works for python 3. for python 2 you must take input differently refer: Python 2.7 getting user input and manipulating as string without quotations
import time
import datetime
names = ['Admin']
pwds = ['Admin']
while True:
name = input('Name/create: ')
if name == "create":
name = input('New Name: ')
pwd = input('New Pwd : ')
names.append(name)
pwds.append(pwd)
continue
elif name in names:
curpwdindex = names.index(name)
print(names)
curpwd = pwds[curpwdindex]
givenpwd = input('Password: ')
if givenpwd == curpwd:
print("Welcome")
break
else:
print("Inavlid Credential")
else:
print("Wrong Choice")
continue

How can I make a basic program that allows someone to sign in to an account previously created?

I am trying to make a python program that will allow a user to sign up or sign in, and I am currently doing so by creating a file that stores every username and its password. Right now, it is not writing to the file, and I was wondering if anyone could tell me what I'm doing wrong. Please forgive me if it is a stupid error, I am not very experienced with python, but I can still make a basic program. This is my code:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from time import sleep
def signin():
usrlist = open("users.txt", 'w+')
complete = False
while (complete == False):
usr = raw_input("Username: ")
pwd = raw_input("Password: ")
usrinfo = (usr + ":" + pwd)
if (usrinfo in usrlist.read()):
print("Welcome back " + usr + ".")
complete = True
else:
print("Username or Password incorrect. Please try again.")
def signup():
usrlist = open("users.txt", 'w+')
usravailable = False
while (usravailable == False):
newusr = raw_input("Please choose a Username: ")
if (newusr in usrlist.read()):
print("Username taken. Please choose again.")
else:
usravailable = True
newpwd = raw_input("Please choose a password: ")
oldusrlist = usrlist.read()
usrlist.write(oldusrlist + newusr + ":" + newpwd + ".")
print("Thank You. Please Sign in.")
signin()
print("Please Choose An Option:")
print("1. Sign In")
print("2. Sign Up")
inorup = input()
if (inorup == 1):
signin()
elif (inorup == 2):
signup()
Also, if you have any suggestions about how I could do this differently, or better(even if it's using a different language) Thank you and I appreciate your help.
EDIT:
If anyone can give me information on doing a program like this either using JSON, javascript, or multiple files that can store larger amounts of data about each account, please tell me how in the comments or an answer. I appreciate the help.

To fix your not saving issue, you need to do two changes:
1) in your signin() routine, change the line 'usrlist = open("users.txt", 'w+')' into 'usrlist = open("users.txt", 'r')
2) in your singup() routine, after the line 'usrlist.write(oldusrlist + newusr + ":" + newpwd + ".")', add: 'usrlist.close()'
Then you should be able to see the stuff got saved.

here is a way to use json
import json
import os
FILENAME = "./f.json"
# init the data file
def init_data():
with open(FILENAME, "wb") as f:
json.dump({}, f)
def load_content():
with open(FILENAME) as f:
infos = json.load(f)
return infos
def save_content(content):
with open(FILENAME, "w+") as f:
json.dump(content, f)
return True
def save_info(username, password):
infos = load_content()
if username in infos:
return False
infos[username] = password
save_content(infos)
return True
def sign_in(username, password,):
status = save_info(username, password)
if not status:
print "username exists"
def login(username, password):
infos = load_content()
if username in infos:
if password == infos[username]:
print "login success"
return True
else:
print "password wrong"
return False
else:
print "no user named %s" %username
if __name__ == "__main__":
# here is some simple test
os.system("rm -f %s" %FILENAME)
if not os.path.exists(FILENAME):
init_data()
# login fail
login("hello","world")
# sign_in
sign_in("hello", "world")
# login success
login("hello","world")
# sign_in fail
sign_in("hello", "world")
# login fail
login("hello", "hello")

Returning to 'main menu' for mini email program

So for practice, I tried writing a simple program to read/write emails from the terminal/python shell. My problem is that whenever I try entering an invalid response, it ends the program rather than returning to the 'main menu,' so to speak. Same problem for when I try to give the option of quitting the program and asking the user to confirm that they want to exit. This is my code:
import smtplib
import imaplib
import email
print 'Welcome to NhuMail'
print '\n \nPlease enter your login information: \n'
user = raw_input('Email User:')
pw = raw_input("Password:")
def check_mail(user, pw):
# Login to INBOX
imap = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL("imap.gmail.com", 993)
imap.login(user, pw)
imap.select('INBOX')
# Use search(), not status()
status, response = imap.search('INBOX', '(UNSEEN)')
unread_msg_nums = response[0].split()
# Print the count of all unread messages
print '\n\nYou have %s unread messages.' % (len(unread_msg_nums))
def read_mail():
imap = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL("imap.gmail.com", 993)
imap.login(user, pw)
imap.list()
imap.select("inbox")
status, response = imap.search('INBOX', '(UNSEEN)')
unread_msg_nums = response[0].split()
result, data = imap.uid('search', None, "ALL") # search and return uids instead
latest_email_uid = data[0].split()[-1]
result, data = imap.uid('fetch', latest_email_uid, '(RFC822)')
raw_email = data[0][1]
email_message = email.message_from_string(raw_email)
print email_message['To']
print email.utils.parseaddr(email_message['From']) # for parsing "Yuji Tomita" <yuji#grovemade.com>
email_items = email_message.items()
# print all headers
print email_items[1]
print email_items[2]
print email_items[5]
print '\n'
b = email.message_from_string(raw_email)
if b.is_multipart():
for payload in b.get_payload():
# if payload.is_multipart(): ...
print payload.get_payload()
else:
print b.get_payload()
def new_mail():
from_add = user
to_add = raw_input('Enter TO address:')
msg = raw_input('Enter desired message:')
server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com:587')
server.starttls()
server.login(user,pw)
server.sendmail(from_add,to_add,msg)
def exit_mail():
confirm_exit = raw_input('Are you sure you want to exit? (Yes/No):')
server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com:587')
if confirm_exit == 'Yes':
server.quit()
print 'Nice Nhu-ing you! Come again soon :)'
elif confirm_exit == 'No':
return prompt
def mail_options():
prompt = raw_input('Say \'Nhu\' to compose a message \nOR \nSay \'Read\' to read unread message \nOR \nSay \'Escape\' to exit NhuMail: \n')
while True:
if prompt == 'Nhu':
new_mail()
return prompt
elif prompt == 'Read':
read_mail()
return prompt
elif prompt == 'Escape':
exit_mail()
break
else:
print 'You didn\'t enter one of the options!'
return prompt
check_mail(user,pw)
mail_options()

It looks like you want to keep calling mail_options(). You can do this with an infinite loop:
while True:
mail_options()
You could also put the loop inside mail_options():
def mail_options():
while True:
prompt = raw_input('Say \'Nhu\' to compose a message \nOR \nSay \'Read\' to read unread message \nOR \nSay \'Escape\' to exit NhuMail: \n')
while True:
if prompt == 'Nhu':
new_mail()
elif prompt == 'Read':
read_mail()
elif prompt == 'Escape':
exit_mail()
break
else:
print 'You didn\'t enter one of the options!'

Try changing your mail_options() to this:
def mail_options():
while True:
prompt = raw_input('Say \'Nhu\' to compose a message \nOR \nSay \'Read\' to read unread message \nOR \nSay \'Escape\' to exit NhuMail: \n')
if prompt == 'Nhu':
new_mail()
elif prompt == 'Read':
read_mail()
elif prompt == 'Escape':
exit_mail()
break
else:
print 'You didn\'t enter one of the options!'
You present the prompt once and then as soon as you get their result, you return what they said after running the specified function, and then because you use a return keyword, it breaks out of the loop and function and exits the program.

The issue in your program lies in mail_options(). You have an infinite loop, that can only run a single time, and then exits every time time due to the use of a return statement. Make an infinite loop to continuously show mail_options(), and it should fix your issue. You're only calling it once, which is why it exits.
You can do:
while True:
mail_options()
Another option would be asking the prompt inside the loop, and ridding the function of return statements.
def mail_options():
while True:
prompt = raw_input('Say \'Nhu\' to compose a message \nOR \nSay \'Read\' to read unread message \nOR \nSay \'Escape\' to exit NhuMail: \n')
if prompt == 'Nhu':
new_mail()
elif prompt == 'Read':
read_mail()
elif prompt == 'Escape':
exit_mail()
return # Get out of the function.
else:
print 'You didn\'t enter one of the options!'
