Error: You need to pass in the path of the conf file. Try again.

I keep on getting this when running weatherBot.py: You need to pass in the path of the conf file. Try again.
Are you running it with a conf file as an argument? It should look something like this:
python3 weatherBot.py configuration.confSorry not sure what you mean?
How are you invoking weatherBot? It's designed to be run from a command line.
Ahhhh okay:
Toms-MacBook-Pro:weatherBot-master Tom$ python3 weatherBot.py configuration.conf
Traceback (most recent call last):

KeyError: 'basic'Just need to sort these errors out.
What does your conf file look like? The key error means that there's no "basic" section (the [basic] header in the conf file). I will add exception handling so you can use a conf file with missing headers in the near-ish future.

Correct apart from keys.py
You need to pass in a path to a configuration file that exists. The default one is weatherBot.conf. In my comment above, I used configuration.conf as an example, but that does not exist within the project, unless you added it.
v2.1 was just released which will alert a user if the configuration file does not exist.
