Hi!

In a way, yes. Python has its own manpage-like docs system,
called, cunningly, pydoc.

So "pydoc pymetar" should give you a manpage-like description of
pymetars API (it's a library, so that's its primary
documentation). In case you don't have pydoc, the package comes
with a file called librarydoc.txt which is identical in content. As
for a more general description, there's also a README. Where
those files typically end up in the macports package system, I
don't know.

Pymetar comes with two example scripts, called pymet and
weather.py. Both are examples only but might be enough for what
you need.

Unfortunately, I don't know where macports packages usually put
the auxillary files for installed packages. The packager might
also have removed the examples, though I doubt it.

Maybe someone else on the -dev list can shed a light on this?

Regards,
Tobias
