generative modeling for Rhino

A grasshopper infographic of temperature data taken from Pachube. A custom interface built in grasshopper is used (via sliders) to set the parameters for the Pachube API, which is then sent to a Python script that does the work for pulling the .csv file from online, and the returned data is saved to a text file that is then re-read by Grasshopper, thus outputting this infographic.

Dear Adam,
I'm just trying to do the same, and I have not succeeded with either gHowl or Firefly.
Could you please share your script?
Thanks,
cheers,
Itai

I did try this first through gHowl. Although, from what I can gather, it can not get as specific as I need to get in my analyzing/visualizing Pachube data. Such as specific streams from a specific thread, specific time spans both short-term (x axis) and long-term (y axis). From what I remember (I don't have grasshopper open right now) gHowl's Pachube component only gives you an overview of a specific feed.
Also, Firefly would be useful if these feeds were from my own sensors, alas they are not. I am doing research into visualizing other people's temperature feeds in/near London and comparing that to weather station data.
Thank you for the feedback though!

nice!
I'm wondering though why the need for a custom script + re-reading of a text file procedure, couldn't one of the Pachube Read components (either Firefly or gHowl) do the job directly? I mean I don't know, haven't played with those too much, just curious.
