In addition to what Tim Golden has said (which appears to be based on another 
version of this project - I don't see the file structure he describes), I 
noticed that weather.py spawns a new thread when imported; don't do that: 
http://docs.python.org/library/threading.html#importing-in-threaded-code

Also, you have some .pyw files with corresponding .pyc file. That's *very* 
strange. .pyw files are *not* modules, and Python won't import them. Don't use 
the .pyw extension except for your main application script (in cases when you 
don't want a console window to appear). Having foo.pyc and foo.pyw in the same 
directory, Python will always load the .pyc file, ignoring any changes in 
the .pyw source.
