Replace weather.py in .gitignore with Example File

[MidnightJava]

The following was given in a PR Comment:

Current: weather.py is gitignored

Concern: This file might contain user location data (lat/lon, zip codes, API responses) that shouldn't be published.

Suggested approach:

Remove weather.py from .gitignore
Instead, create weather_example.py or weather.py.example showing sample usage/configuration
Add user-specific config files to .gitignore if needed (e.g., weather_local.py or user_weather_config.py)

The file weather.py was a test program used before I integrated the behavior into the app. There is no private info in it; I just thought it was not needed by others, but I didn't want to delete it just yet. Based on your comment, it would be good to include it, for use as a unit test or experimentation.

Your other comment also brings up a good idea. Currently, when users create their own weather args, git will show a difference, and they'll have to manually ignore it, since we don't want to add it to .gitignore. So your idea about a local weather file is the answer, although I think it's the yaml file we need to override, not a python script.

At first, I thought I would modify the code to look for a file weather_local.yaml. If it exists, it would do a deep merge of settings in that file with the settings from conf.yaml, overriding any equivalent values in conf.yaml. Since the quadrant mappings each contain a list of "app" containers, which can be in arbitrary order, I can use app.name as the key for the deep merge rather than the index of each app in the quadrant.

However, as I think about it, users should be able to change the order of apps in each quadrant, not just customize the args. So I think the best approach is to have the entire file override conf.yaml. So the code will look for conf_local.yaml (which will be git-ignored), and if it exists it will use it instead of conf.yaml?

Thoughts on this approach? Is there a better idea?
